About Sharing the Printer on a Network
Locally-shared Printer
You can connect the printer directly to a selected computer, which is called the “host
computer” on the network. The printer can then be shared by other users on the network
through a Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Server 2008, Vista, Windows 7, or Server 2008 R2
network printer connection.
Wired Network-connected Printer
Your printer has a built-in network interface. For details, see "Connecting the printer to the
Network".
Printing Across a Network
Whether the printer is locally connected or network-connected, you need to install the
Dell
2355dn Laser MFP
software on each computer that prints documents using the printer.
Setting Up the Locally Shared Printer
You can connect the printer directly to a selected computer, which is called the “host
computer,” on the network. Your printer can be shared by other users on the network through a
Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Server 2008, or Vista network printer connection.
In Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista/ 7/ Server 2008 R2
