Setting Up for Shared Printing 

You can share your new printer on the network using the 

Software and Documentation

 disc that shipped with your 

printer, or using Windows Point and Print or peer-to-peer method. However, if you use either of the Microsoft 

methods you will not get features such as the status monitor and other printer utilities, which will get installed with 

the 

Software and Documentation

 disc. 

If you want to use the printer on a network, share the printer and install its drivers on all the computers on the 

network.

You need to purchase the Ethernet cable separately for shared printing.
