Sharing the Printer on a Network
Sharing the printer

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.

appropriate settings of the print server and clients.
