Configuring for a Network

Before you can use your printer on a network, you must configure your computer as described in the following sections.

Windows 95 and Windows 98 Users

If your computer is on a Windows 95 or Windows 98 network and you want other users to share the printer connected to it, you need to:

■set up the system connected to the printer (host system) so the printer can be shared

■define a path to the printer on each client computer

Before following the steps here, make sure you’ve installed the printer software on all the computers that will use the printer. See the Start Here card for instructions.

This section describes how to use your printer as a shared printer on a network. To connect your printer directly to a network without setting it up as a shared printer, consult your network administrator.
