About Sharing the Printer on a Network

Locally-shared Printer

You can connect the printer directly to a selected computer, which is called the "host computer"
on the network. The printer can then be shared by other users on the network through a Windows
2000, XP, Server 2003, Server 2008, Vista, Windows 7, or Server 2008 R2 network printer
connection.

Wired Network-connected Printer

Your printer has a built-in network interface. For details, see "Connecting the printer to the
Network".

Printing Across a Network

Whether the printer is locally connected or network-connected, you need to install the Dell
2355dn Laser MFP software on each computer that prints documents using the printer.

Setting Up the Locally Shared Printer

You can connect the printer directly to a selected computer, which is called the "host computer,"
on the network. Your printer can be shared by other users on the network through a Windows
2000, XP, Server 2003, Server 2008, or Vista network printer connection.
