1) You hook the printer up to a computer and make it shareable on the local network. You can then go to other computers on the network and add a a new printer connected to a local LAN
2) Purchase a mini-print server device, such as this one: http://shop2.outpost.com/product/3853577 and hook it up directly to the printer. The print server then connects to the local network through a standard Ethernet cable.
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!
If your printer is network capable, it has own print server. Just connect the printer to the router. Then connect the printer as a network printer.
yes you can connect the Lexmark E120N Laser Printer to your wireless network, it works great.
If you printer has a printer server attached or network compatible, the answer is yes you can.
To interface a parallel printer to a USB port, you need a USB Parallel Printer Adapter, Belkin makes a reliable one that I have used for years.
Connect your printer to one of computers, and share it for all computers in your network. Or if your printer has its own network interface, connect it directly to the router and use it (you might have to configure it for your network settings).
Yes, you if you printer has network interface (NIC). u can connect them through routers or switch
Connect to one of computers connected to the network after that using sharing options share the printer.
Usually people do it to save money and space. Instead of buying a printer for everybody you can get a network printer which can handle multiple jobs.
Whether your printer uses a serial port, or parallel port, or USB port, or wifi, decides what type of cable you need. Name and model of printer? Have you looked on the maker's website or user guide for instructions?
There are different kinds of printers. Some of them can be connected directly to network. If you have one of them just to that and then using ip address or name of your printer connect to it. If your printer cannot be connect directly to network, connect to your desktop and in the printer's properties choose share. After that check your network environment for shared printers, when you see what you are looking for double click on it, and you are all set.
The easiest way to set up a new network laser printer to a network is to use wireless. The printer will simply connect to all computers on that wireless network.
