Sharing The Printer On A Network - Canon MG2500 series 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.
