Introduction

The Network Printer Card allows you to connect your printer directly to a network to share the printer among multiple users. The printer functions as a network print server supporting various network environments, such as Windows 2000/XP/Vista, Windows Server 2003, and Macintosh 8.6 or higher.

This guide explains how to connect the Network Printer Card and set up your printer as a print sever over the network.

This guide assumes that you have:

•A good working knowledge of your network utilities

•A supported network operating system

•A fully operational computer system

•Access to the supervisor account as a network administrator, or access to an account that has supervisor and print server operator privileges
