Printing from a Network Computer using a Shared
Printer
If you set the printer up as a shared network printer, you will be able to print directly
to the printer from any computer on the network.
If you want to use the printer as a shared printer, perform the following
configuration. In this section, the computer that is directly connected to the printer is
called the print server, and other computers that access the printer over the
3
network are called client computers.
* 1 The term "Local Installation" indicates installing the printer driver using the supplied CD-ROM.
* 2 The term "Download Installation" indicates downloading the printer driver from the print server to client computers
and installing it without using the supplied CD-ROM.
* 3 If your print server is Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista (32-bit), you cannot download and install the printer driver
on 64-bit Windows XP/Server 2003/Vista.

* If a 64-bit operating system is running on the print server, the download installation for the following client computers
on which a 32-bit operating system is running is not supported due to the Windows restriction.
- Windows 2000
