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 printer server, and the other computers are 
the clients which need permission to share the printer with the 
printer server. The clients share the printer via the printer server.
According to the versions of Windows OS and your access rights 
on the network, perform the appropriate settings of the printer 
server and clients.
