To share the device on a locally shared network<br />
When you connect the device directly, you can share it with other computers using a<br />
simple form of networking known as locally shared networking. Use this configuration<br />
only in small groups or when usage is low. The connected computer is slowed down when<br />
many users print to the device.<br />
Basic requirements for sharing in Mac OS X environment include the following items:<br />
• The Macintosh computers must be communicating on the network using TCP/IP, and<br />
they must have IP addresses. (AppleTalk is not supported.)<br />
• The device that is being shared must be connected to a built-in USB port on the host<br />
Macintosh computer.<br />
• Both the host Macintosh computer and the client Macintosh computers that are using<br />
the shared device must have device sharing software installed, and the driver or PPD<br />
for the device that is installed. (You can run the installation program to install the<br />
device sharing software and associated Help files.)<br />
For more information about USB device sharing, see the support information on the Apple<br />
Web site (www.apple.com) or the Apple Macintosh Help on the computer.<br />
To share the device among computers<br />

2. To print from the other Macintosh computers (the clients) on the network, do the<br />
following:<br />
