Networking Basics
Sharing Printers
O. Now you will identify the location of the Network Printer. If you know the name of the computer and the share name of the printer, you can type it into the "Network path or queue name:" box. However, it is easier to click the "Browse…" button and navigate to the location of the printer. Click "OK" when you have selected the desired printer. Finish the installation by continuing the "Add Printer Wizard" normally.
P. You may now use the Network Printer as if it was connected directly. Note: the computer that the printer is connected to must be on to use the printer. If you find this inconvenient, devices known as Network Print Servers are available from D-Link. The DP-101 and DP-301 can each support a single printer. The DP-300 and DP-100 will support up to three. A Network Print Server would allow you to directly connect your printer to your network, so you wouldn’t have to worry which computer is turned on.
