Its hard to answer a question like that without first knowing the structure of the overall network. However usually its as straight forward as plugging the printer into the back of a router. Then from there you go round all the clients and search do a search for a network printer. Input the IP address of the printer and that should do it. So long as you are sure both networks can see each other then there really shouldn't be much problem. Usually the hardest part is trying to figure out a strategic place to put the printer.

What is difference between network printer and share printer?
I think the main differences between a network printer and a shared printer are: 1. A shared printer is suitable for small environment A network printer used for large network 2. shared printer connected system not shutdown printer did not connect to the system it will connected to switch 3. A network printer has more security 4. A network printer has an IP address shared printer working only same platform
Is it possible to share printers not files?
It is possible to share a printer on a network. For example: two computers sharing one printer while the computers are connected to a home network (local Area Network - LAN). To share files between two computers, mark a folder or drive as shared - search Google on sharing files for more info.
Which network is fast LAN or WAN?
lans are more faster than wans
What is a computer network and what are they good for?
A computer network is a connection between different computers. It is used to share information (for example, share a folder of pictures), and resources (for example, a printer is used by more than one computer).
What connects two or more geographically distinct LANs or MANs?
Wide Area Network
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 a computer network and why it is useful?
A computer network - is two or more computers linked together. It's useful - because computers can communicate 'live' with each other. Additionally - If computers are networked, you only need one printer. All the computers on the network 'share' the printer between them.
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.
How can you connect a parallel printer to a parallel computer and a usb computer?
Through a hub or router- Connect the printer to the parallel port then make sure you have network communication between the two machines and install the printer on the USB machine as a network printer. To put it a little more clearly. 1. Network the two computers which can be done quite cheaply using a 4 port USB network hub. 2. Attached the printer to either computer - all PC's have a parallel port. 3. Share the printer from the PC is it attached to. Hope this helps!
What do you need to be able print from a wireless network?
There are two options. First, you connect the printer to a computer which has a wireless connection and share the printer for network users. Second, if your wireless router supports Print server, you can connect the printer directly to the router and configure print server options in order to get access to the printer through wireless network.
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 consists of 2 or more lans that span a wide geographic area?
They're called a Wide-Area Network - or WAN.
