About Sharing the Printer on a Network
Locally-shared Printer
You can connect the printer directly to a selected computer, which is called the “host 
computer” on the network. The printer can then be shared by other users on the network 
through a Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Server 2008, Vista, Windows 7, or Server 2008 R2 
network printer connection.
Wired Network-connected Printer
Your printer has a built-in network interface. For details, see Connecting the printer to the 
Network.
Printing Across a Network
Whether the printer is locally connected or network-connected, you need to install the Dell 
2355dn Laser MFP
 software on each computer that prints documents using the printer.
Setting Up the Locally Shared Printer
You can connect the printer directly to a selected computer, which is called the “host 
computer,” on the network. Your printer can be shared by other users on the network through a 
Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Server 2008, or Vista network printer connection. 
In Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista/ 7/ Server 2008 R2
 NOTE: This process assumes that drivers have already been installed.

operating system CD, ensure that the drive letter is correct for your CD-ROM drive, 
and then click 
OK.
9Click Close.
To check that the printer was successfully shared:
• Make sure the printer object in the 
Printers folder shows it is shared. For example, in 
Windows 2000, a hand is shown underneath the printer icon.
•Browse 
My Network Places or Network Neighborhood. Find the host name of the server, 
and look for the shared name you assigned to the printer.
Now that the printer is shared, you can install the printer on network clients using the point 
and print method or the Peer-to-Peer method.
 
						

							174
Install the Shared Printer on Client Computers
Point and Print
This method is the best use of system resources. The print server handles driver modifications 
and print job processing. This lets network clients return to their programs much faster.
If you use the Point and Print method, a subset of driver information is copied from the print 
server to the client computer. This is just enough information to send a print job to the printer.
1Right-click the Start button and point to Explore. 
2Double-click My Network Places or Network Neighborhood.
3Double-click the host name of the printer server computer.
4Right-click the shared printer name, and then click Install or Connect.
Wait for the driver information to copy from the print server computer to the client 
computer, and for a new printer object to be added to the Printers folder. The time this 
takes varies, based on network traffic and other factors.
5Close My Network Places or Network Neighborhood.
6Print a test page to verify print installation.
When a test page prints successfully, printer installation is complete. See

Peer-to-Peer
If you use the Peer-to-Peer method, the printer driver is fully installed on each client computer. 
Network clients retain control of driver modifications. The client computer handles the print 
job processing.

Setting Up a Network-connected Printer
You must set up the network protocols on the printer to use it as your network printer. 
Protocols can be set up by the following two methods:
1 Via Network Administration Programs
You can configure your printer’s print server settings and manage it via the following programs:
•
Set IP Address Utility: A utility program allowing you to find your network printer and 
manually configure the addresses for use with the TCP/IP protocol.
•
Embedded Web Service: A web server embedded to your network print server, which 
allows you to:
Configure the network parameters necessary for the printer to connect to various network 
environments.
2 Via the Operator Panel
You can configure the basic network parameters through the printer’s operator panel. Use the 
printer operator panel to do the following:
• Print a Network Configuration Page
•Configure TCP/IP
• Configure EtherTalk
• Configure a Wireless network
