Using the Printer on a Network 117

Setting Up the Printer as the Shared Printer for Windows

These instructions tell you how to set up your printer so users on the network can share it.

First you will set up the printer as a shared printer on the computer directly connected to it. This

computer is the print server. Then you will add the printer to each network computer that will

access it. Then each computer is the print server’s client.

Note:

❏ These instructions are for small networks only. To share the printer on a large network, consult your

network administrator.

❏ To uninstall programs in Windows Vista, you need an administrator account and the password if you

log on as a standard user.

❏ You must log on to a Computer Administrator account to install software on Windows XP. After you

install Windows XP, the user account is set as Computer Administrator.

❏ You must log on to Windows 2000 as a user with administrative privileges (belonging to the

Administrators group) to install software.

❏ When you use your printer as a shared printer on a network with the following combinations of

computers, the client operating systems are not able to communicate with the printer, so that some

functions are not available for that particular client.

❏ The illustrations in the following section are from Windows XP.
