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.
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].
