Setting Up for Shared Printing
You can share your new printer on the network using the
Software and Documentation
disc that shipped with your
printer, or using Windows Point and Print or peer-to-peer method. However, if you use either of the Microsoft
methods you will not get features such as the status monitor and other printer utilities, which will get installed with
the
Software and Documentation
disc.
If you want to use the printer on a network, share the printer and install its drivers on all the computers on the
network.
NOTE: You need to purchase the Ethernet cable separately for shared printing.
