NETWORKING BASICS
Sharing Printers
K. Choose "Network printer" and click "Next."
L. Now you will identify the location of the Network Printer.
If you know the name of the computer and the share name of
the printer, you can type it into the "Network path or queue
name:" box. However, it is easier to click the "Browse" button
and navigate to the location of the printer. Click "OK" when
you have selected the desired printer. Finish the installation by
continuing the "Add Printer Wizard" normally.
M. You may now use the Network Printer as if it was connected
directly. Note: the computer that the printer is connected to
must be on to use the printer. If you find this inconvenient,
devices known as Network Print Servers are available from
D-Link including the DP-301 and DP-101P. A Network Print
Server would allow you to directly connect your printer to
your network without worrying about which computer is 'on'.
