Sharing your printer with other users

If your computer is connected to other computers over an AppleTalk
network, you can allow other users on the network to print on your
Color StyleWriter 2200. The technology that lets you do this is called
ColorShare.

Note the following points about ColorShare:

m Even though you are sharing the printer over a network, the printer must

still be connected directly to a single computer using the provided cable, as
described in “Connecting the Printer to Your Macintosh” in Chapter 1.

m For others to be able to use the shared Color StyleWriter 2200 printer, your

Macintosh must be turned on.

m When other users print on a printer connected to your Macintosh, you may

notice that your computer pauses occasionally while you work. Because the
printer is attached to your Macintosh, you can see what’s being printed
(and by whom) by opening the desktop printer icons, as described in
“Monitoring and Controlling Background Printing,” earlier in this chapter.

m These instructions work only if you do not have QuickDraw GX software

installed on your computer, and only others who do not have QuickDraw
GX can share the printer. (If you have QuickDraw GX software installed,
you can share the printer only with other users who also have it installed.)

To share the printer with other users, follow these steps:

1

Select Chooser from the Apple (

K

) menu.
