36 Installing the Printer Driver

Sharing a Printer on a Network Connection

Printer sharing is a Windows-supported feature where a printer installed on a host PC can be

used from another PC on the network (often called the client PC). For best results, use printer

sharing with PCs running the Windows XP or Windows 2000 operating systems.

Before installing an SR200 or SR300 printer on a client PC:

• Log in to the client PC as a user with Administrator permission, which is required

for installing printers. The user installing at the client PC must also have

authorization at the host PC to install the printer.

• Make sure that the client PC has network access to the host PC (where the printer

is installed).

• Make sure that the printer is set for sharing. The icon in the Printers

window includes a hand (Windows 2000 and XP) or a photo (Windows

Vista) when sharing is enabled. See Windows help for “Printer Sharing”

for details on enabling printer sharing.

• Make sure that the printer driver is installed (following the steps that begin on

page 9) and working on the host PC.

• Make sure that the printer name does not have spaces in the name.

• You must know the computer name and workgroup name of the host PC to locate

it on the network. See Windows help for “computer name” for details on finding the

names.

• Users at the client PC must be authenticated, usually by logging in, at the host PC

for printing to be allowed.

1. On the client PC, open the Printers windows.

• On Windows XP and Windows 2000, choose Start > Settings > Printers (and

Faxes) to display the Printers (and Faxes) window.
