2.2 Printing through a PC
In this configuration, the printer is connected directly to the parallel port
of a selected computer (or server) on the network and is shared out to the
other computers (or client). The server could be a Novell NetWare 3.12 or
4.11 server or a computer running Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows
95, 98 or NT 4.0. Sharing the printer in this configuration is a low cost,
easy way to share a printer because it requires no additional hardware or
software.
The HP 2500C Professional Series printer can be shared over a network
with this configuration. However, it is recommended only for a small
workgroup where there is a small number of users or limited usage is low
as the shared computer will be slowed down when many users print to its
shared printer.
