Setting up Your Printer on a Network
This section tells you how to set up the printer fo r use on an
AppleTalk network. By setting up your local printer as a shared
printer, it becomes connected to the network and can be used by
other computers.
First, you need to setup the printer as a shared printer on the
computer to which it is connected. Then, you must specify the
network path to the printer from each computer that will use it,
and install the printer software on those compu ters.
