Is true or false networks allow several computers to use the same printer?
Yes, networks do allow several computers to use the same printer.
Can a dozen or more computers share a single printer?
Yes, it is known as a network printer. When several computers are trying to use a network printer at the same time, a print queue will form. The delays in print jobs reaching the printer mean that each user must wait for their printing job to get to the front of the queue and so printed.
I have one printer and four computers what gadget can I use to print from four computers to my printer without transferring the connection?
It depends on if you have a net-workable printer or not. If you have a wireless or ethernet equipt printer then you could use an wireless router that usually has 4 ethernet ports. I have my computers (six of them) hooked to an ethernet switch (and a couple connected wireless) which is hooked to a wireless router. My printer is wireless (or ethernet capable) and can be used by all my computers without doing a thing. As long as the computers AND the printer stay on the same network then they can all print. Most of my computers are Macs and I can use the "Location" feature to switch back and forth from my "internet DSL" location back to my "offline local" network. If you only have a USB printer then you could use the printer sharing feature on your computer and then it would work but you would always have to have that one computer on ALL the time. There are also USB servers that use an ethernet cable to connect to the network, you just plug the USB cable from the printer into the server and then it is plugged into the computer, ethernet switch, router, etc.
How can you connect two computers to one printer show with slide?
One method is to use a printer switch box. See related links for some example devices. Another method would be to connect the printer to one computer and share the printer with another computer on the same network.
What is the procedure to hook up 2 PC to one printer?
Connect your printer to one of computers, and share it for all computers in your network. Or if your printer has its own network interface, connect it directly to the router and use it (you might have to configure it for your network settings).
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 is a providing access to a computers files or printer over a network so others can read or use them?
That would be called a server. A server "serves" the computer files or printer access over the network for client computers access.
What does cloud computing means indicate?
Cloud computing basically means that you are able to use programs on different computers. With clouding, you will be able to link up several computers so that they can all use the same programs.
What software do printers need?
Printers use printer drivers which are specifically written for each printer model to communicate with computers. I.E. if the printer is a print, copy, scan, the driver must be able to handle all the functions of that printer.
Can you use a diffrent number cartridge in my HP printer?
You have to use specific cartridges for specific printers, some printers will use the same as others but not all cartridges are the same. What printer is it you are using?
Can you hook two computers to one printer?
Yes, you can. There are multiple ways to that. First one is to connect the printer to one of computers and connect both computer to the same network or just to each other. Second one is available if your printer supports LAN. For this case you need a router or switch. Third one is to use print server, and you will need a router or switch but LAN support is not required. USA port must be present.
How can you share a printer between a laptop and a computer?
This depends on your operating system and the existence of a network 1) if you have a non USB printer you can use an A/B switch box 2) If you have windows on a networked conputer you can share the printer in control panels 3) you can use a wifidongle and make the printer wifi. Then everyone can connect
