Sharing the Printer on a Network

This section describes how to configure this machine as a Windows network printer.
The network printer is configured to enable network clients to use it.

• To change printer properties, you must have Manage Printers permission (Full Control access

authentication under Windows Vista/7). Log on to the file server as an Administrator to acquire this
permission.

• The following procedure is based on Windows XP as an example. If you are using another

operating system, the procedure might vary slightly.

1.

On the [Start] menu, click [Printers and Faxes].

2.

Click the icon of the printer you want to use.

3.

On the [File] menu, click [Properties].

4.

On the [Sharing] tab, click [Share this printer].

5.

To share the printer with users using a different version of Windows, click [Additional
Drivers...].

Omit this step if you have installed an alternative driver by selecting [Share this printer] during the
printer driver installation.

6.

On the [Advanced] tab, click the [Printing Defaults...] button. Specify the default values
for the printer driver that will be distributed to client computers, and then click [OK].
