Sharing the Printer on a Network

When multiple computers are being used in the network environment, you can share the printer connected to one computer with the other computers.
The Windows versions of the computers connected to the network do not necessarily have to be the same.

  • Settings on Print Server

    This section describes the procedure for setting a computer that connects with this printer directly through a USB cable.

  • Settings on Client PC

    This section describes the procedure for setting a computer that uses this printer though a network.
    When you perform print, the data is sent to the printer through the print server system.

Important

  • In case an error occurred when a document is printed by the client system to a shared printer, the error message of Canon IJ Status Monitor will be displayed both on the client system and the print server system. For regular printing, Canon IJ Status Monitor will be displayed only on the client system.

Note

  • You must install a print driver in the print server and in each client.
