About the shared printer
This section describes how to share the printer on an AppleTalk
network.
The computers on the network can share the 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.
Note:
Printer sharing function can be used in Mac OS 8.1 to 9.X.
