PRINTER SHARING

This chapter explains how to configure the machine as a shared printer in a Windows network environment. 
Configuring the machine as a shared printer enables computers that are not directly connected to the machine to 
print to the machine.

SHARING THE PRINTER USING 
WINDOWS NETWORKING

The machine can be used as a shared printer in a Windows 95/98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP network environment.
Note that the Windows network environment must already be established.

"Print server" as explained here is a computer that is directly connected to the machine, and a "Client" is any other 
computer that is connected to the same network.
