Preparing Print Server

This section explains how to configure this printer as a Windows network printer. The printer is configured to enabling network clients to use it.

To change the printer properties in the [Printer] folder, you need Printer Management access authentication. Log on to the file server as an Administrators or member of the PowerUsers group.

Open the [Printers] window from the [Start] menu.
The [Printers] window appears.
Under Windows XP or Windows Server 2003/2003 R2, the [Printers and Faxes] window appears.
Click the icon of this printer. On the [File] menu, click [Properties].
The printer properties appears.
On the [Sharing] tab, click [Shared as:].
To share this printer with users using a different version of Windows, click [Additional Drivers...].
If you have installed an alternative driver by selecting [Shared as:] during the printer driver installation, this step can be ignored.
Click [OK], and then close the printer properties.
