Shared Printing Windows 9x/Windows 2000
Windows 95/98 print clients can share the printer with
networked computers running Windows 2000 and having a
parallel connection to the printer. This requires that the
PostScript printer driver be installed on the Windows 2000
computer and that the driver be configured for sharing. Print
clients then can use the network to install the PostScript
printer driver from the Windows 2000 computer.
Description

shared Windows 2000 PostScript printer driver is similar to
the Windows 95 and Windows 98 PostScript drivers. They
both have the same options and features.
