8. Shortly afterwards, a print queue is created automatically for your printer.
Sharing the printer
If your computer is connected to a network, you can make your directly connected printer available to
other computers on the same network.
1. Double-click the System Preferences icon on the Dock menu bar on your desktop.
2. Under Mac OS X 10.4, enable printer sharing by going to Sharing > Services > Printer
Sharing.
Under later versions of Mac OS X, go to Sharing, select Printer Sharing, and then check the
printer(s) that you want to share.
3. Your printer now automatically appears in the list of shared printers displayed by any other
computer running Mac OS and connected to your local network.
Please bear in mind the following considerations.
●
Any other users wishing to share your printer must install the printer software on their own
computers.
●
Anyone sharing your directly connected printer will be able to send print jobs, but will not be able
to receive information from the printer—which affects printer alerts, printer status reports, paper
management, printer administration and troubleshooting.
●
The PCL3 (raster) driver can drive a shared printer between different versions of Mac OS, but
the PostScript driver does not support printer sharing between Mac OS X 10.4 and Mac OS X
10.5 or 10.6. It does support printer sharing between Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6.
●
You may find that sharing your directly connected printer with other users will slow down your
computer unacceptably.
TIP: The best way to share the printer over a network is to connect the printer not to any computer,
but to the network. See
Connect to a network (Mac OS) on page 14.
Uninstall the printer software (Mac OS)
1. Insert the HP Start-Up Kit CD into your CD drive.
