If you want to connect your printer directly to your computer for personal
use, see the previous section, “Connecting the Printer Directly to a Mac OS
Computer.” If you have a Windows/DOS computer, see the section,
“Connecting the Printer Directly to a Windows/DOS Computer” later in this
chapter. If you have an existing LocalTalk network and you want to share
your printer with other Mac OS computers on the network, follow the steps
below.
