Sharing the Printer on the Network
Adding the Shared Printer on Other Network Computers
Even without the Dell™ Internal Wireless Adapter 1150, your printer can still be shared with other users on the network.
Connect the printer directly to a computer (the host computer) using the USB cable, and enable it to be shared across the
network through peer-to-peer sharing. Sharing the printer using your computer may slow down the speed of your computer.
To share the printer:
1. Assign a “share name” to the printer. For more information, see Sharing the Printer on the Network .
2. Set up the network computers that you want to connect and use the shared printer. For more information, see Adding
the Shared Printer on Other Network Computers .
