Setting Up Your Printer For Sharing - Canon 9192A006 - FAXPHONE L80 B/W Laser Software User's Manual

If you choose to share the use of your printer, your computer acts as the
host system or server to the other computers (also referred to as remote or
client systems).
To use your printer, the client systems must have the printer driver
software installed on them. The software can be installed on the client
systems directly from your system. Based on which Windows operating
system you are using, the following client systems can share your printer:
If your system (server) is:
Windows 98/Me
Windows 2000/XP
When a document is printed by the client system on a shared printer, any
printing messages (status or error messages) display on the server
system.

Setting Up Your Printer for Sharing

Before the client systems can be installed with the printer driver software,
you must set up the printer for sharing on the server system.
To set up the printer for sharing:
1. On the server system, on the Windows desktop, click Start, point to
Settings, and then click Printers (in Windows XP, click Start, and then
click Printers and Faxes).
2. In the Printers window (in Windows XP, the Printers and Faxes
window), click the printer icon.
3. On the File menu, click Sharing.
If the Sharing command is not available, you need to set up printer
sharing in Windows. For details, see your Windows user
documentation.
4. In the Properties dialog box, on the Sharing tab, click Shared As (in
Windows XP, Share this Printer).
