Client Configuration
Setup___________
The Client is a peer in the workgroup that wants to print to another peer’s printer.
Network Configuration Example
As you can see in the following figure, there are two PCs that have attached printers: Peer A with Printer A and Peer
D with Printer D. If Peer B chooses to print to Printer A, Peer B is the Client and Peer A is the Server for that print job.
If Peer A wants to print to Printer D, Peer A becomes a Client to Peer D, but Peer A remains the Server for Peer B’s
print job.
