Sharing Printers on a Network
A shared printer is one that receives input from more than one computer. A
shared printer is also called a network printer. Once you are connected to a
shared printer on the network, you can use it as if it were attached to your
computer.
To share your printer on a network, you must first add a network service to
your computer.
For instructions on installing a network service, see "Networks (LAN,
Wireless, Mobile Broadband)" on page 149. Once your computer is connected
to a network, you can add your printer to that connection.
