Setting Up Your 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 printer server, and the other computers are 
the clients which need permission to share the printer with the 
printer server. The clients share the printer via the printer server.
A cc o rd in g to  th e  v e rsi o ns  o f W i nd o ws  OS a n d  yo ur  a cce s s r ig hts  
on the network, perform the appropriate settings of the printer 
server and clients.

❏For Windows Me, 98, or 95, see “Setting Up Your Printer as a 
Shared Printer” on page 172.
❏For Windows XP, 2000, or NT 4.0, see “Using an additional 
driver” on page 174.
Setting the clients
❏For Windows Me, 98, or 95, see “With Windows Me, 98, or 
95” on page 181.

is installed.
❏The printer server and clients should be set on the same network 
system, and they should be under the same network management 
beforehand.
❏The on-screen displays on the following pages may differ depending
