Printer sharing considerations

Any other users sharing your USB-connected printer will be able to send print jobs, but will not be able to receive information from the printer—which affects status reports, administration and troubleshooting.

TIP: The best way to share the printer over a network is to connect the printer not to any computer,

but to the network. See Connect a computer to the printer by network (Windows) on page 15.
