Printing to a shared printer
Before using a printer that is shared through your MeeBox, make sure the printer is
connected and turned on, and that your MeeBox is turned on. Then, simply print as if the
printer were directly connected to your computer. For example, in a Windows application,
select the shared printer in the Print dialog box and click Print.
