Is it possible for a single printer to be local and a network printer?
A network printer is shared by more than one computer. A local printer is directly connected to one computer. But the printer can be set up as a local or a network printer.
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.
Can only one printer be connected to a computer at a time?
No. Each connected printer has it's own address so the computer ses them all as separate devices. However, you cannot normally print to more than one printer at the same time (on the same command).
Can you connect more than one printer to a computer?
Yes.
Can a computer have more than one printer installed in it?
yes

Can a computer have more than one printer installed in it and explain?
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.
What printer setup allows a computer attached to a single computer to be used by more than one user?
Locally-attached printer. Along with active directory.
What is the difference between a network printer and a personal printer?
A network printer is not connected directly to an individual PC. A network printer is connected to a network, typically with an ethernet cable. Network printers are normally shared with several other users, often in an office setting. Personal printers, on the other hand, are usually connected to individual PCs. Common connection types for personal printers are parallel cables and USB cables. Unless you change the default settings, personal printers are not shared amongst multiple computers - they print only from the computer they are connected to. You can share personal printers if you wish, but unlike network printers, if the computer the printer is connected to is not turned on, nobody else will be able to print to it.
Why will a printer not start if attached to a four port unpowered USB hub that is connected to a notebook?
The portable printer requires more power than is available through a USB hub
How may one printer be used to serve more than one computer user?
You connect the printer and the other computers in a network - either by USB or Ethernet.
