To share the device on a locally shared network

selected computer (known as the server) and is shared by other computers (clients).

newest operating system as the server. For example, if you have a computer
running Windows XP and another computer running an older version of Windows,
use the computer running Windows XP as the server.

computer is slowed down when many users print to the device.
