Setting Up Your Printer on a Network

Sharing the Printer

This section describes how to share the printer on a standard
Windows network.
The computers on a network can share a printer that is directly
connected to one of them. The computer that is directly connected
to the printer is the printer server, and the other computers are
the clients which need permission to share the printer with the
printer server. The clients share the printer via the printer server.
According to the versions of Windows OS and your access rights
on the network, perform the appropriate settings of the printer
server and clients.
