Configuring for a Windows Network

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

1.Set up the system connected to the printer (host system) so the printer can be shared.

2.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.

Note:

If you’re using your printer on a Windows NT 4.0 network, see your network administrator or your Windows NT documentation for instructions on configuring your printer for the network.
