Using a Printer over a Network
Before you can use a printer that is attached to another computer on your network,
you will need to do the following:
O
Make the printer available to other computers (this is also known as “sharing” a
printer). Sharing must be configured on the computer to which the printer is
attached.
O
Run the Add Printer Wizard to install printer drivers on each computer that you want
to print from.
Note Some printer drivers are not designed for sharing printers. For more information,
see the documentation that came with your printer, or see if additional drivers are
available on the printer manufacturer’s Web site.
The procedures for sharing a printer and installing drivers differ depending on your
version of the Windows operating system. For more detailed instructions, look up
“sharing printers” in Windows Help.
To access a shared printer from another computer on the network, use the following
