The following are the general steps you need to follow to set up a printer for printing over a network. These steps are provided as a general overview and reminder that you must be able to print locally to the printer before you can share it.

Note When printing to a shared printer, any messages generated by the printer, including error messages, are displayed on the local computer, not on the remote computer.
