To enable the printer to be shared across the network, the technician should configure the IP settings of the printer. The IP settings include the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server of the printer. The IP settings allow the printer to communicate with other devices on the network and access network resources such as print servers or cloud services.

The technician can configure the IP settings of the printer in different ways, such as:

Using the printer’s control panel or web interface to manually enter the IP settings or obtain them automatically from a DHCP server.

Using the printer’s software or driver to assign a static or dynamic IP address to the printer.

Using a network discovery tool to find and configure the printer on the network.

The technician should also make sure that the IP settings of the printer are compatible with the network configuration and do not cause any conflicts or errors.
