To share the printer on a locally shared network

When you connect the printer directly, you can still share the printer with other computers using a simple form of networking known as locally shared networking. Use this configuration only in small groups or when usage is low. The computer that is connected to the printer is slowed down when many users print to the printer.

Basic requirements for sharing in a Macintosh environment include the following items:

●The Macintosh computers must be using TCP/IP to communicate, and the Macintosh computers must have IP addresses. (AppleTalk is not supported.)

●The printer that is being shared must be connected to a built-in USB port on the host Macintosh computer.

●Both the host Macintosh computer and the client Macintosh computers that are using the shared printer must have printer-sharing software installed and the printer driver or PPD for the printer that is installed. (You can run the Installer program to install the printer sharing software and associated Help files.)

●The client Macintosh computers should have the appropriate HP printer drivers installed.

●The client Macintosh computers must be PowerMac computers.

For more information about USB printer sharing, see the support information that is available on the Apple Web site http://www.apple.com or the Mac Help on the computer.

To share with other computers running Mac OS X (V10.3 and V10.4)

Use the following steps to share the printer among Macintosh computers that are running Mac OS X

(V10.3 and V10.4):

1.Turn on printer sharing on the computer that is connected to the printer (the host).

2.Open System Preferences, click Sharing, click Services, and then select the Printer Sharing check box.

3.To print from the other Macintosh computers (the clients) on the network, preselect the printer in Sharing. Then, choose the neighborhood where the printer is shared and select the printer.
