Network printing
This section describes how you can print to an Express or Select printer over a
network using Microsoft File and Printer Sharing.
Printer sharing is not supported for the Express Class printer on Windows NT.
The Express or Select printer drivers provide support for local printer sharing. When a
printer is locally shared, the printer is attached to one PC (host) on a network. Users at
other PCs on the network (clients) can print to the shared printer over the network. Up
to 10 client PCs can share the printer at one time. Users at client PCs do not have the
same level of access to the printer driver as a user at the local PC.
Two operating system configurations are supported:
•
Both the client and host PCs run Windows NT 4.0 Workstation with Service Pack
4 or higher installed.
•
Both the client and host PCs run Windows 98 (Second Edition).
Requirements for local printer sharing
Before sharing a printer over the network, meet the following requirements:
•
A network card is installed and working on each PC.
•
The same Windows operating system is installed and operating on each PC.
If you are installing both a network card and a service pack or Windows upgrade,
install the network card first and then install the service pack or upgrade. If you
installed a service pack or upgrade before installing a network card, you must
install the service pack or upgrade again.
•
The printer must be enabled for sharing. See Windows help for information on
enabling printer sharing.
•
The PC with the printer attached must remain on, and the Windows operating
system must be running. For Windows NT, a user with Full Control permission to
the printer must be logged on at the host PC so that other users can print.
•
For Windows NT, you must set up user permission to the client PC and user
permission to the host PC. See administrator information for Windows NT for
more information.
