Printer Sharing
Printer sharing enables printing from network clients. Printer sharing
with the LBP-1210 printer requires that both the print server and the
client devices are using Windows 95 or later, or Windows NT 4.0 or later.
The print server and client do not need to use the same operating system,
and it is possible to print from a Windows 95/98/Me client to a Windows
NT 4.0/2000/XP print server, or vice versa.
You can start printing simply by starting the server, even if the server was
not running when the client was started.
If the server is running on Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP, you can print, even
if no one is logged into the server. Please note that there is no status
display on the server when no one is logged in. The status display is
shown on the client.
Connecting the LBP-1210 as a Network Printer
If you plan to share the LBP-1210 on a network, install the print server
locally, then make the following settings. See your print server system
documentation for more information.
