Sharing Tab
1.Not Shared/Shared As  (Do not share this printer/Share this printer)

For sharing a printer, specify the share name of a printer. A name specified here appears when other
users view the printer information on a network.
2. button
Install additional printer drivers on the system. (See Note 1)
When users running different versions of Windows share a printer, installing additional drivers avoids the
need for installing new drivers on their systems.
NOTE1. When sharing a printer on the network, the print driver needs to be installed on the print server
only, other computers will automatically copy and use that driver.
For this reason, the print server must be ready with printer drivers for all the operating systems
of all the computers that will be sharing the printer.
