Sharing the Printer on a Network
Sharing the printer
This section describes how to share the printer on a standard Windows network.
The computers on a network can share a printer that is directly connected to one of them. The 
computer that is directly connected to the printer is the print server, and the other computers are 
the clients which need permission to share the printer with the print server. The clients share the 
printer via the print server.
According to the versions of Windows OS and your access rights on the network, perform the 
appropriate settings of the print server and clients.
Setting the print server
See “Using an additional driver” on page 94.
Setting the clients
See “With Windows Vista, Vista x64, XP, XP x64, or 2000” on page 98.

x64 print server.
