„ Setting Up the Printer for Shared Printing
One way to make a new printer available for other computers on a network is to use the Software
Pack CD-ROM supplied with your printer. Using the supplied CD is helpful in a way that it will install
utilities including the SimpleMonitor as well. The following, however, describes the procedures for
sharing a printer on a network without using the supplied CD.
To set up a printer to be shared on a network, you need to set up the printer for network sharing and
install print drivers for the printer on every computer on the network.
NOTE:
• You need to purchase an additional Ethernet cable at your own cost to connect a printer to an Ethernet
network.
