LAN Printer Sharing setup graphics and text tutorial

One: On a computer with a printer, share the printer

1, first of all, to confirm with the shared printer connected to the Power-on state, and has installed the printer driver, and can achieve normal printing, for the driver installation is not described here. (The actual operation of the two computers are the Windows XP Professional version of the operating system)

2. The actual operation of the shared printer. WwW.PC841.CoM we take Canon PIXMA MP145 All-in-one Machine (part of the Canon MP 140 series) as an example, this is not a network of integrated machine, but, by connecting a computer, and then do the corresponding settings can be realized after sharing printing.

① the following actions on a computer with a printer:

Enter the beginning----directly find the printer and fax, direct Access can be, the following figure:

Printers and Faxes

If you do not find a printer and fax entry in the Start menu, you can go to the start-Settings---Control Panel.

②, enter the printer and fax Center as shown in the following illustration:

Printer settings sharing with Fax center

Then click on the printer by the key--select share as shown above. Then enter the following printer sharing interface.

Set the shared printer name

As shown in the above picture, click on "Share this printer", and start a share name "lichaoMP140", then click "OK" button, then we will return to the printer and fax Center, the following figure:

Printer Sharing Setup Complete

From the image above we can see that the printer icon has one more hand drag label, which means our printer sharing settings have been successful.

Here basically about the printer share usage has been set to half, next we have to do is how the other computers in the LAN can find the printer, and use.

Second: How other computers in the LAN find shared printers and use

How do other local network computers view printers that are just starting to set up shared? The most primitive way we know, is to go to the Network Neighborhood--look at the entire Web workgroup, and go slowly to the shared printer.

Here we do not recommend this way to find a printer, WwW.PC841.CoM here to teach you how to quickly find a common lane out of the printer. The method is as follows:

① first back, the computer with the printer, what we need is with the IP address of the printer computer, obtain the IP method as follows:

How do I get the IP address of the computer that is connected to the print device? The author takes own computer as an example to show us the process of acquiring computer IP address.

In the computer with the printer, start-run, enter "cmd return" in the run, hit the Enter button, and then enter "Ipconfig" in the pop-up interface, then hit the return button, the first line is the IP address of this computer. The following figure:

At this point we have to remember the resulting IP address, such as the above 192.168.1.103 is the IP address of the printer computer.

② has the IP address of the computer where the printer is located, then we can find the shared printer very simply on the computer in other local area network, the operation is as follows.

Find a shared printer on a computer in another local area network and use the following methods:

① everything start with start, click Start-Run, and then pop up the following image:

② in the running dialog box, the computer connected to the print device in the LAN IP address, "192.168.1.103". The following figure:

After that, you can find the shared service printer as shown in the above figure.

Here is basically the end, we can begin to test print on this computer, when the test to select a printer to choose a shared printer, the following figure.

Shared Print Test

Finally, through remote control, to achieve a shared printing effect:

Here, the printer sharing settings basically and everyone said that the end, in fact, the steps are not much, but we write a more detailed here. The above is the implementation of the local area network to share the printing of some Operations Guide, below. Let's talk about the network printing.

Sharing print and network printing differences

A simple summary of the difference between shared and networked printing.

A shared printer has a printer in a local area network, and WwW.PC841.CoM is available to everyone, but if the computer that shared the printer does not turn on, you won't be able to use the printer.

Network printer has an IP, the equivalent of a computer, as long as the net open everyone can use it, relatively speaking, or net dozen convenient.

People seem to think that network printing is the sharing of print, in fact, network printing is not just a shared print, it is in the premise of sharing print development.

Network printing is internet-based network printing, the printer is not a peripheral, and as a contact on the network exists, is a high-end network printing, network printers through the Eio slot directly connected network adapter card, the speed of the network to achieve high-speed printing output.

In network printing, the management software and print server are listed as its two core components. Users can remotely browse to a variety of printer information, printer settings, toner cartridge usage, each carton paper status, and so on, network printing standards also embodies its very high reliability, rarely produce faults even if the fault is very easy to exclude, all of which are shared printing do not have.

The biggest difference between network printing and shared printing is its manageability, ease of use and high reliability, the core of which is manageability.
