Sharing Your Printer
This section describes how to share your printer so that other 
computers on a network can use it.
The computer on a network can share the 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.

To connect your printer directly to a network without setting it up as a 
shared printer, consult your network administrator.
