To share the printer on a locally shared network

 

In a locally shared network, the printer is connected directly to the USB or parallel connector of

 

a selected computer (known as the server) and is shared by other computers (clients).

 

 

 

Note

When sharing a directly connected printer, use the computer with the newest operating system

 

 

as the server. For example, if you have a computer running Windows 2000 and another

 

 

computer running an older version of Windows, use the computer running Windows 2000 as

 

 

the server.

 

 

Use this configuration only in small groups or when usage is low. The computer that is

 

 

connected to the printer is slowed down when many users print to the printer.

 

 

 

1

From the Windows desktop, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers or

 

 

Printers and Faxes.

2

Right-click the printer icon, click Properties, and then click the Sharing tab.

3

Click the option to share the printer, and give the printer a share name.

4

If you are sharing the printer with client computers that use other versions of Windows,

 

 

you can click Additional Drivers to install their drivers as a convenience to them. This

 

 

optional step requires you to have the Starter CD in your CD drive.

Network connection

If the printer has network capability, the printer can be shared in a network environment by connecting it directly to the network. This type of connection offers the ability to manage the printer using the embedded Web server from any computer on the network.

Installing printer software and sharing the printer

Choose the installation option for the type of network you have:

z Client/server network: If your network has a computer acting as a dedicated print server, install the printer software on the server (To install the software on a network), and then install the printer software on the client computers (To install the printing software on client computers).

z Peer-to-peer network: If you have a peer-to-peer network (a network without a dedicated print server), install the software on the computers that will be using the printer (To install the software on a network).

In addition, you can connect to a network printer in both types of networks using the

Add Printer wizard in Windows (To install the printer driver using Add Printer).
