Setting Up a Print Server
8W0J-049
By setting up a print server on the network, you can speed up print operations on a computer, thereby reducing the
load on the computer.
In Windows, you can install the printer driver via the print server to save you the trouble of downloading the printer
driver to each computer on the network or using a CD/DVD-ROM.
To set up a print server, enable the print server to print from the machine, and then configure the settings for sharing
the printer.
To use a print server in a domain environment, consult your network administrator.
