Printer Sharing
Printer sharing enables printing from network clients. Printer sharing with the LBP-1210 printer requires that both the print server and the client devices are using Windows 95 or later, or Windows NT 4.0 or later.
The print server and client do not need to use the same operating system, and it is possible to print from a Windows 95/98/Me client to a Windows
NT 4.0/2000/XP print server, or vice versa.
You can start printing simply by starting the server, even if the server was not running when the client was started.
If the server is running on Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP, you can print, even if no one is logged into the server. Please note that there is no status display on the server when no one is logged in. The status display is shown on the client.
Windows Firewall
Windows XP Service Pack 2 and other operating systems have the feature that blocks unauthorized access over the network to protect your computer (Windows Firewall). Because of this, you need to configure
Windows Firewall to allow access when you are using the printer on an operating system that is equipped with Windows Firewall. (This configuration operation is only needed when using the printer in a network environment.) For details, refer to the file “note_ex.pdf” that is included in the [English] folder on the supplied “User Software for LBP-
1210” CD-ROM.

Status Display
The status of a shared printer displays on both the print server and client computer, and job operations can execute from either.
Status display requires status exchanges between the print server and client using TCP/IP or NetBEUI protocols. Status display is not supported if IPX/SPX is the only protocol used.
