42 Using the Canon Advanced Printing Technology Chapter 3
Printer Sharing
Printer sharing enables printing from network clients. Printer sharing with
an LBP-800 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 client to a Windows NT 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, 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-800 as a Network Printer
If you plan to share the LBP-800 on a network, install the print server
locally, then make the following settings. See your print server system
documentation for more information.
