Preparing Print Server
This section explains how to configure this printer as a Windows network printer.
The printer is configured to enable network clients to use it.
Under Windows XP Professional or Windows Server 2003/2003 R2/2008/2008 R2, to change printer properties in the [Printer] folder, you need Printer Management access authentication; under Windows Vista/7, Full Control access authentication. Log on to the file server as an Administrator group.
The following procedure is based on Windows 7 as an example. If you are using another operating system, the procedure might vary slightly.
Open the [Devices and Printers] window from the [Start] menu.
The [Devices and Printers] window appears.
Right click the icon of the printer you want to use, and then click [Printer properties].
The printer properties appears.
On the [Sharing] tab, click [Share this printer].
To share this printer with users using a different version of Windows, click [Additional Drivers...].
If you have installed an alternative driver by selecting [Share this printer] during the printer driver installation, this step can be ignored.
On the [Advanced] tab, click the [Printing Defaults...] button. Specify the default values for the printer driver that will be distributed to client computers, and then click [OK].
Click [OK] to close the printer properties.
