Sharing The Printer On A Network - Canon PIXMA G2160 Online Manual

Sharing the Printer on a Network

When multiple computers are being used in the network environment, you can share the printer connected
to one computer with the other computers.
The Windows versions of the computers connected to the network do not necessarily have to be the same.
• Settings on Print Server
This section describes the procedure for setting a computer that connects with this printer directly
through a USB cable.
• Settings on Client PC
This section describes the procedure for setting a computer that uses this printer though a network.
When you execute print, the data is sent to the printer through the print server system.
Important
• In case an error occurred when a document is printed by the client system to a shared printer, the error
message of Canon IJ Status Monitor will be displayed both on the client system and the print server
system. For regular printing, Canon IJ Status Monitor will be displayed only on the client system.
Note
• You must install a print driver in the print server and in each client.
