Setting Up Your Printer on a Network
Sharing the printer
This section describes how to share the printer on a standard Windows network.
The computers on a network can share a printer that is directly connected to one of them. The
computer that is directly connected to the printer is the printer server, and the other computers are the
clients which need permission to share the printer with the printer server. The clients share the printer
through the printer server.
According to the versions of Windows and your access rights on the network, perform the appropriate
settings for the printer server and clients.
Setting the printer server
See “Setting up your printer as a shared printer” on page 42.
Setting the clients
See “Setting the clients” on page 45.
Note:
❏
When connecting to a Windows XP shared printer, error and warning notifications do not appear
during printing. Installing Windows XP Service Pack 1 or later will solve this problem.
❏
When connecting to a shared printer beyond a router, error and warning notification for shared
printers during printing is not available in some cases because of the router’s settings.
❏
The printer server and clients should be set on the same network system, and they should be under the
same network management before making the settings.
