Dell A960 All In One Personal Printer - Manual (Page 58)

Networking
A network is a group of devices connected to each other for the purpose of sharing information. Here is a
quick look at what you can do if you are considering using your printer across a network:
Print from multiple computers if your printer is attached to a computer.
NOTE: All computers networked to the printer must be running either Windows XP or Windows 2000.
Copy using the operator panel.
Use the Print to fax feature. However, Fax Setup Utility functions are not available. Fax setup must be
done from the operator panel.
NOTE: You cannot use your printer to scan across a network.
Sharing Printers
You can print from multiple computers if your printer is attached to a computer that is connected to a
network.
Using Windows XP

Click Start Control Panel Printers and Other Hardware Printers and Faxes. 1.
Right-click the Dell AIO Printer A960 printer icon, and then click Sharing. 2.
From the Sharing tab, click Share this printer, and then type a name in the Share name text box. 3.
Click Additional Drivers and select the operating systems of all network clients printing to this
computer. 4.
Click OK. 5.
If you are missing files, you are prompted to insert the server operating system CD.
Make sure the printer object in the Printers folder shows that it is shared. For example, in Windows
2000, a hand is shown underneath the printer icon.
Browse Network Neighborhood. Find the host name of the server and look for the shared name you
assigned the printer.
