What are three ways to make a printer available on a network?
CrashOverride
The three ways to make a printer available on a network include the following: # A regular printer can be attached to a PC using a port on the PC, and then that PC can share the printer with the network (do this by opening the Printers and Faxes window, right-clicking the printer you wish to share, and select Sharing from shortcut menu. Select Share this printerwhen the printer's Properties dialog box opens and enter a name for the printer). # A network printer with embedded logic to manage network communication can be connected directly to a network with its own NIC (Network Interface Card)(pronounced "Nick"). # A dedicated device or computer called a print server can control several printers connected to a network. For example, HP has software called HP JetDirect,designed to support HP printers in this manner.

Printer is on your network and there is no print option on your computer?
If you have a printer on your network and there is no print option on your computer, there are a few things you can do to troubleshoot the issue: Check if the printer is properly connected to the network and turned on. Make sure it has a stable connection and that there are no error messages on the printer display. Ensure that the printer is installed on your computer. Go to your computer's "Devices and Printers" settings and check if the printer is listed. If it's not, you may need to install the printer driver software. Try restarting your computer and printer. This can often resolve connectivity issues. If you're using a wireless printer, make sure your computer is connected to the same network as the printer. If none of these steps work, you can try resetting the printer to its factory settings or contacting the printer manufacturer for further assistance.

With a WRT54G Linksys router you want to make a hp laserjet 1022 printer and hp photosmart 8250 one wireless accessible 2 other printers how do you do it?
There are a few if's here but I will give it my best shot. The easiest way to make any printer accessible is to network it. If available just plug a ethernet cable right into the printer. Then when you install the printer on the computer, you can select the network printer option. If the printer is to far away from the router or dose not have the network port on the back then you will need a print server. Wired print servers are fairly cheep, just make sure that they support your printer. I would suggest an HP JetDirect print server since you have two HP printers. Wireless print servers are still some what expensive, and a little difficult to set up. They do come with instructions and tech support and the few that I have set up went pretty easy.

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!
