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).

How many printers can be connected to a computer?

As many as you want but not in the same time of course. It also depends on what kind of a network printer you have. If you have a printer which is connected to the one of PCs, then a number of computers which can send print jobs in the same time is defined by the PC RAM. You have a printer which has its own network card then that number is defined by the printer RAM (usually it's about 16-64 Mb). And the printer can handle only couple print jobs in the same time.


How do you get two printers to work on one computer with two or more programs?

Install each printer to the computer separately, one at a time. After installation, make sure both printers are connected to the computer (wired or wireless). Click "Print" in the program you're using, and a dialog box will appear. Use the drop down box towards the top to select the printer you'd like to use. Make sure you check it every time to ensure you're using the right printer.

What printer works with a Gateway I only have a HP deskjet 930c printer?

That really depends on your operating system. What type of Windows do you run? Most of the time you can go to the manufactures web sight (in this case HP) and download the latest drivers for your computer. If you have a old printer, and the cable will not fit on the new computer, then you need a converter cable (USB to Parallel). Check out the local computer store and ask for one.


What do you do if your PC doesn't recognize the printer that you've just connected correctly?

you have obviously not connected it right In reallity not that obvious nor will my answer be that glib. If you loaded he driver and then connected the printer, maybe all it needs is to restart the computer to finish the installation. If that don't do it: I'm assuming you know the printer works i.e it and its cable have been tried on another computer. Then try these one at a time: 1. Make sure the printer default paper size matches with the computer printer/document setting and the paper tray on the printer menu is set to auto. 2. If you are using NT or Vista go to 'control panel' 'printers' check that the printer isn't listed twice and that this printr is set as 'default'. 3. If you are running USB try to run direct through to the CPU port and not through a hub. 4. Ask the question has the printer been used on this machine with this operating system before. If yes what has been done to the machine in the meantime. If no, is the driver you are using compatible with the operating system. You might have to go online to find a later one.


i have the mbr1000 cellular router. i use verizon for my internet.can i be connected to mbr1000 and my wireless printer at the same time?

Yes, you can do that. The printer and cellular router should not interfere with each other. If it is a problem you can route the printer through the router.

Printing directly from the printer is extremely easy to do, and saves time and effort. A desktop computer, however, offers more advanced editing.


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.


Do you have to keep the Ethernet cord connected on a laptop when connected to wireless router?

If the laptop computer has a wireless adapter installed, either internally or externally, and it can communicate over that adapter to the wireless router, it is time to disconnect the Ethernet cable. The computer will only use one network path to the router at a time.

How can you make an organ with a 3d printer?

You can make a MODEL of an organ with a 3D printer- but printers do not make living tissue (yet). The printer is controlled by a computer program that tells it where to deposit a drop of material, and the object is built up one drop at a time.


How to Install a Printer on Your Computer?

The first step to install a printer on your computer is knowing your printer’s manufacturer and model. There should be a small metal tag on the back of your printer with the identifying details you’ll need; you can also look in your printer’s manual. You should know which computer operating system (OS) you’re using on your computer. You cross-reference your OS with the printer model to search on the Internet to find the manufacturer’s website. Look in the website’s subsection on drivers to find the newest one for your OS. Download the driver to your computer; the file should go into a folder named Drivers. Now it’s time to install your printer. If you have a Install disk or CD, put it in your computer’s drive. The Install program should start up right away; if not, look for a file named Install or Setup on the disk, and run it. Follow the instructions on the screen, which should end with a request for you to restart your computer -- do so. When your computer is back on, try printing a test page (if the instructions have not already told you to do so). The test page should show different-sized fonts and graphics -- if a color printer, a rainbow of color should also be printed. If you have no manual, no disk, or no instructions on how to install your printer on your computer, first, use the Internet to find and install a printer driver for your printer model. Then, plug one end of the USB cable provided with your printer to your computer, and the other end to your printer. Also, plug in the power cord for your printer, but do not turn on your printer. Plugging in the USB cable should start a ’Add New Hardware’ Wizard, or something similar, on your computer. Follow the instructions, which should help you to select the driver, whether on the Web or already on your computer. Turn on your printer. Your computer should then sense the presence of your printer and finish the install. Print a test page. You’re done!
