Setting up a shared printer

You can share a desktop printer in the same way you share files, folders, or volumes, with the Sharing command in the File menu. Both the host and client computers must have a copy of the same printer driver.

Create a desktop printer; see Creating a desktop printer for instructions.
Highlight the desktop printer icon you want to share.
Select Sharing from the File menu.
Click the check box to turn on Share this printer.
Click the close box.
At the alert message, click Save.
The desktop printer's icon changes to reflect the change in status to a shared printer.

Using a shared printer

If you want to use a printer hosted by another user's computer, do the following:

Open the Chooser from the Apple menu.
Click the Phaser 360 GX printer driver icon on the left side of the Chooser.
In the Connect via field's pop-up menu, select Servers.
The list of printers in the Chooser changes to show only shared printers. Click on the shared printer you want to use.
Close the Chooser.
