Setting Up Your Printer on a Network
For Windows
Sharing the printer
This section describes how to share the printer on a standard 
Windows network.
The computers on a network can share a printer that is directly 
connected to one of them. The computer that is directly connected 
to the printer is the print server, and the other computers are the 
clients which need permission to share the printer with the print 
server. The clients share the printer via the print server.
According to the versions of Windows OS and your access rights 
on the network, make the appropriate settings for the print server 
and clients.
