About Sharing the Printer on a
Network
If you work in a networked environment, you can connect your
printer to the network.
Locally-Shared Printer
You can connect the printer directly to a selected computer,
which is called the "host computer" on the network. The printer
can then be shared by other users on the network through a
Windows 98/Me/XP/NT 4.0/2000/2003 network printer
connection.
For details about sharing the printer locally, see the Software
Section.
Wired Network-connected Printer (CLP-300N only)
The CLP-300N printer has a built-in network interface. For more
information about connecting your printer to a network, see 2.6.

Printing Across a Network

Whether the printer is locally connected or network-connected,
you need to install the CLP-300 series printer software on each
computer that prints documents using the printer.
