The sharing applies only to print and scan functionality.
Basic requirements for sharing in a Macintosh environment include the following items:
z
The Macintosh computers must be communicating on the network using TCP/IP, and the
Macintosh computers must have IP addresses. (AppleTalk is not supported.)
z
The all-in-one that is being shared must be connected to a built-in USB port on the host
Macintosh computer.
z
Both the host computer and the client computers that are using the shared all-in-one must
have printer-sharing software installed and the printer driver or PPD for the all-in-one that
is installed. (You can run the Installer program to install the printer sharing software and
associated Help files.)
z
The client computers should have the appropriate HP printer drivers installed.
z
The client computers must be PowerMac computers.
z
To use a shared USB PostScript printer, the client computers must have a USB port.
