9 SECTION 9 Setting up for shared printing Point and print Peer-to-peer
w w w. d e l l . c o m / s u p p l i e s | s u p p o r t . d e l l . c o m You can share your new printer on the network using the Drivers and Utilities CD that shipped with your printer (see "Set up the queue on the server" on page 74), or using Microsoft’s point and print or peer-to-peer method. However, if you use one of the Microsoft methods, you will not have all of the features, such as the status monitor and other printer utilities, that are installed with the Drivers and Utilities CD.
Point and print This method is usually the best use of system resources. The server handles driver modifications and print job processing.
