Using the Shared Printer on Your
Network
When the machine is already on your network and set as a
shared printer, you can use it via network. The easiest way to
make the machine available for your computer is using network
download. If your operating system is Windows 2000/XP, you
cannot download the driver from Windows 98/Me servers. In
that case, use [Add Printer Wizard].
