Shared Printing

You can use Microsoft's Point and Print or Peer-to-Peer methods to share a printer on the network with a USB
or parallel cable connection. In order to use one of these methods, you must first share the printer and then
install the shared printer on client computers.
However, if you use one of these Microsoft methods, you will not have all the Dell features, such as the
Status Monitor, that are installed with the Drivers and Utilities CD.
