When the Status Monitor balloon appears to indicate an

error, you can cancel the current print job or see the corresponding
solution. If you select Cancel Printing, turn the printer off and
then click OK. It may take several minutes. Note that this will lose
data which is being sent to the printer via network.

Setting Up a Locally Shared Printer

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 9x/Me/XP/NT 4.0/2000 network printer connection.

Printing Across a Network

Whether the printer is locally connected or network-connected,
you need to install the ML-2250 series printer software on each
computer that will print documents to the printer.
