Sharing the Printer on a Network

This section describes how to configure this machine as a Windows network printer.

The network printer is configured to enable network clients to use it.

2 • To change printer properties, you must have Manage Printers permission (Full Control access authentication under Windows Vista/7). Log on to the file server as an Administrator to acquire this permission.

The following procedure is based on Windows XP as an example. If you are using another operating system, the procedure might vary slightly.

1.On the [Start] menu, click [Printers and Faxes].

2.Click the icon of the printer you want to use.

3.On the [File] menu, click [Properties].

4.On the [Sharing] tab, click [Share this printer].

5.To share the printer with users using a different version of Windows, click [Additional Drivers...].

Omit this step if you have installed an alternative driver by selecting [Share this printer] during the printer driver installation.

6.On the [Advanced] tab, click the [Printing Defaults...] button. Specify the default values for the printer driver that will be distributed to client computers, and then click [OK].

7.Click [OK].
