USB printer sharing over an Ethernet network (Mac OS)
Basic requirements for printer sharing in a Macintosh environment include the following:
• The Macintosh computers must be communicating on the network using TCP/IP, and the Macintosh
computers must have IP addresses. (AppleTalk is not supported.)
• The printer being shared must be connected to a built-in USB port on the host Macintosh computer.
• Both the host computer and the client computers that are using the shared printer must have printer
sharing software installed and the printer driver or PPD for the printer that is installed. (You can run the
Installer program to install the printer sharing software and associated Help files.)
• The client computers should have the appropriate HP printer drivers installed.
• The client computers must be PowerMac computers.
• To use a shared USB PostScript printer, the client computers must have a USB port.
For more information about USB printer sharing, see the support information available on the Apple
website (
http://www.apple.com ) or the Mac Help on the computer.
Sharing among Macintosh computers
Enable printer sharing on the computer that is connected to the printer (the host).
1. Open System Preferences, click Sharing, and then click Services.
2. Click the Printer Sharing check box.
To print from the other Macintosh computers (the clients) on the network, preselect the printer in Sharing
(Mac OS X). Then, choose the neighborhood where the printer is shared and select the printer.
