Yes because it is upgradable. yOU NEED TO SHARE THE PRINTER.
Most computers today have several Universal Serial Bus inputs, and each one is capable of supporting a different printer. However, the printer drivers must be installed on the computer, so that the computer can communicate with the printer. These drivers are contained in the installation disc which comes with the printer, or can be downloaded from the manufacturers website. Older computers had a parallel port to drive printers, and could only operate one printer.
A 'shared' printer is one which is accessible from the local are network, which allows a user on a computer which is not directly connected to the printer to use that printer.

How network printers works?
Network printing works like normal printing as far as your document is concerned, but the computer does a little more work. Normally, the computer sends the document to a printer physically plugged in to it and it prints. In this case, the printer isn't plugged in, but is instead on the network, usually connected another computer. The computer printing would send the data over the network to the computer hosting the printer as if the printer were plugged in to the local machine.
What is the difference between local printer and network printer?
A local printer is one that is connected directly to an end user's desktop or laptop computer, and is usually used exclusively by that one end user. This is in contrast to a networked printer, which can be accessed and used by multiple people on the same network that the printer is attached to.
