Printer Sharing

Printer sharing enables printing from network clients. Printer sharing
with the LBP-810 printer requires that both the print server and the client
devices are using Windows 95 or later, or Windows NT 4.0 or later. The
print server and client do not need to use the same operating system, and
it is possible to print from a Windows 95/98/Me client to a Windows NT
4.0/2000 print server, or vice versa.

You can start printing simply by starting the server, even if the server was
not running when the client was started.

If the server is running on Windows NT 4.0/2000, you can print, even if
no one is logged into the server. Please note that there is no status display
on the server when no one is logged in. The status display is shown on the
client.

Connecting the LBP-810 as a Network Printer
