Settings on Print Server

When you use the printer on a network, set up the printer driver for sharing on the server system.
The procedure for setting up the print server systems is as follows:
1.
Install the printer driver on the print server system
For details on installation instructions, refer to the "Install the Software" in the manual: Getting
Started.
2.
Select items from the Start menu as shown below:
In Windows Vista, select the Start menu -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Printers.
In Windows XP, select the start menu -> Control Panel -> Printers and Other Hardware ->
Printers and Faxes.
In Windows 2000, select the Start menu -> Settings -> Printers.
The Printers window (Windows Vista, Windows 2000) or Printers and Faxes window (Windows XP)
is displayed.
3.
Click the icon for the model name of printer to be shared
In Windows Vista, press the Alt key on your keyboard and then select Run as administrator ->
Sharing... from the displayed File menu.
In Windows XP or Windows 2000, select Sharing... from the File menu.
Important
In Windows Vista, a confirmation/warning dialog box may appear when installing, uninstalling,
or starting software.
This dialog box appears when administrative rights are required to perform a task.
When you are logged on to an administrator account, click Continue or Allow to continue.
Some applications require an administrator account to continue. When you are logged on to a
standard account, switch to an administrator account, and restart the operation from the
beginning.
Note
Windows XP may display a message recommending the user to use the Network Setup
Wizard to set up sharing.
When this message appears, choose not to use the wizard and then set up sharing.
4.
Set sharing
Select Share this printer (Windows Vista, Windows XP) or Shared as (Windows 2000) on the
Sharing tab to set a shared name if necessary, and click OK.
The setup on the print server system is complete. Next, set up the client systems.
