Attaching directly to the network (no queue)

Printer

Clients

If you are sharing your network printer in a small workgroup environment and are not using a server, use this method to attach your printer to the network. The no-queue method lets you attach the printer to the user’s computer with a network cable so that multiple users can connect to it.

In this section you will:

•Attach cables.

•Print and check the network setup page.

•Assign an IP address to the printer.

•Verify the IP settings.

•Install printer drivers on each client that needs to print to the new printer.

Attach cables

1Make sure the printer is turned off and unplugged.

2Plug one end of a standard category 5 cable into a LAN drop or hub, and the other end into the Ethernet port (the top connector) on the back of the printer. The printer automatically adjusts for the network speed.
