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.

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.
