4. Repeat these steps for the other computers on your GoFlex Home network storage system,
as required.
You can now print to and manage the USB printer from your computer, the same way you
would if it was physically or wirelessly connected. Keep in mind that it’s a shared printer and
that others connected to GoFlex Home will be using it, too, on a first-come, first-print basis.
TIP: In Explorer and Finder, your printer appears as a network device.
