Sharing the printer
This section describes how to share the printer on an AppleTalk
network.
The computers on the network can share the printer that is
directly connected to one of them. The computer that is directly
connected to the printer is the printer server, and the other
computers are the clients which need permission to share the
printer with the printer server. The clients share the printer via
the printer server.
Note for Mac OS X users:
This function is available only with Mac OS X 10.2 or later. To share
your printer on a network, use the Printer Sharing setting, which is a
standard feature of the Mac OS X 10.2 or later.
