Attaching directly to the network (no queue)
If you are sharing your network printer in a small workgroup environment and are not using
a server, use this method to attach your printer to the network. The no-queue method lets
you attach the printer to the user's computer with a network cable so that multiple users
can connect to it.
In this section you will:
•
Attach cables.
•
Print and check the network setup page.
•
Assign an IP address to the printer.
•
Verify the IP settings.
•
Install printer drivers on each client that needs to print to the new printer.

Make sure the printer is turned off and unplugged.

automatically adjusts for the network speed.
