Setting Up for Shared Printing

You can share your new printer on the network using the Software Disc that comes with your printer,
or using Microsoft peer-to-peer method. However, if you use the Microsoft method, some features,
such as the Status Monitor and other printer utilities, installed with the Software Disc, may not be
available.
If you want to use the printer on a network, share the printer and install its drivers on all the computers
on the network.
Note:
You need to purchase an Ethernet cable for shared printing.
