Make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to the computer with a certified USB cable.

The use of non-certified USB cables can lead to connectivity problems. Only cables

certified by the USB Implementor's Forum (

http://www.usb.org/

) should be used with this 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.

Enable printer sharing by going to Sharing > Services > Printer Sharing.

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.

Any other people wishing to share your printer must install the printer software on their own computers.
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.

Anyone sharing your 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.

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 12

.
