HP printers are compatible with most other brands of computer systems, including Dell, as long as the computer's printer port is compatible. New HP printers use a USB cable, which is compatible with most newer Dell computers.
The main advantage for using the print server is you dont have to connect your printer to a computer and share the printer on that computer (printer shared computer). To be more specific, it means you dont need printer shared computer anymore and can use that computer for other purposes.
Answer:Yes, but you first need a wireless router and your network configured.Next, install the drivers/software for your printer on your computer (check your printer manual for directions)Afterward, configure your printer to the wireless network. (this depends of the type of printer)
No, you need a print server or you need to share the printer via a desktop computer in order to get connectivity over an Ethernet network with more than one client. Hook the USB printer to one of computers and turn printer sharing ON in the System Preferences/Sharing/Services menu on the computer the printer is hooked to. Then you should be able to see it in the Print Menu under Shared Printers on the other computers. The down side is you have to keep the USB Printer/Computer on all the time in order to print to it. The other computers won't see the printer if the USB Printer/Computer is asleep. Keyspan.com, etc... has both the print servers you could use but make sure you read which one you need. They both do it different ways for different printers and usage.
It helps you get what you need on paper easily without troubles (although sometimes printers get frustrating)
Someone can attach a network printer to a standalone computer by using a USB connection. Using a cord to attach the printer to the computer, then installing the printer software, someone can then use the printer from the computer.
When you are using a Canon ink printer, you will need files installed on your computer to enable it to recognize that equipment. If your computer is not going to work with the printer you are trying to use, then your documents are not going to get printed from that particular system.
If you do not need access to internet, no you do not need that. You have to set up IP addresses manually, then you will be able to use your printer.
Any USB printer will be easy to install and use on your Dell computer.
No, you do not need to use a firewire cable. A lot of printers can now be connected wirelessly.
If you're talking about setting up a printer on the computer then the use for that is to connect the printer to your computer so you are able to print. The computer will send "test" pages to print on your printer so you will know whether it works or not.
Depends on if the printer is wireless and if you are using a wireless cable. Most HP printers use a standard USB to printer cord. However, we would have to know the exact make and model of your computer to help you out
