Windows 98/Me - Server Settings

By setting your machine as a shared printer on your network, the network users can share the machine for printing. The printer server and clients do not need to use the same operation system, and it is possible to print from a Windows 98/Me client to a Windows 2000/XP print server.

If you plan to share your Canon imageCLASS MF5500 Series machine on a network, install the print server locally, then make the following settings.
