Setting Up a Locally Shared Printer
Locally-Shared Printer
You can connect the printer directly to a selected computer,
which is called the “host computer” on the network. The printer
can then be shared by other users on the network through a
Windows 9x/Me/XP/NT 4.0/2000 network printer connection.
Printing Across a Network
Whether the printer is locally connected or network-connected,
you need to install the ML-2250 series printer software on each
computer that will print documents to the printer.
