Locally-shared Printer

You can connect the printer directly to a selected computer, which is called the "host computer" on the
network. The printer can then be shared by other users on the network through a Windows 2000, XP, Server
2003, Server 2008, Vista, 7 or Server 2008 R2 network printer connection.

Wired Network-connected Printer

Your printer has a built-in network interface. For details, see "Connecting the printer to the Network" .

Printing Across a Network

Whether the printer is locally connected or network-connected, you need to install the Dell 2335dn MFP
software on each computer that prints documents using the printer.
