Printer Sharing

Printer sharing enables printing from network clients. Printer sharing with the iR1210G/ iR1230G/PC1210D/PC1230D/1270D requires that both the print server and the client devices are using Windows 95 or later, or Windows NT 4.0 or later. The print server and client do not need to use the same operating system, and it is possible to print from a Windows 95/98/Me client to a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP print server, or vice versa.

You can start printing simply by starting the server, even if the server was not running when the client was started.

If the server is running on Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP, you can print, even if no one is logged into the server. Please note that there is no status display on the server when no one is logged in. The status display is shown on the client.
