3.2 Printing through a PC

In this configuration, the printer is connected directly to the parallel port

of a selected computer (or server) on the network and is shared out to the

other computers (or client). The server could be a Novell NetWare 4.11

server or a computer running Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows 95,

98 or NT 4.0. Sharing the printer in this configuration is a low cost, easy

way to share a printer because it requires no additional hardware or software.

The HP 2500C Professional Series printer can be shared over a network

with this configuration. However, it is recommended only for a small

workgroup where there is a small number of users or usage is low as

the shared computer will be slowed down when many users print to its

shared printer.
