your printer can be connected to the computer in two ways.
1. the printer can be connected by a usb (universal serial bus) cable to the computer.
2. the computer can also transmit data via a network.
It is known as a local printer, as opposed to a network printer, which is a printer connected to a network.
a local printer
The default printer.
A local printer is one that is connected directly to an end user's desktop or laptop computer, and is usually used exclusively by that one end user. This is in contrast to a networked printer, which can be accessed and used by multiple people on the same network that the printer is attached to.
To check whether a printer is shared or not go to devices on the computer and note whether the printer is listed for that particular computer. Do this for each computer in question.
A USB printer is connected to a computer or network by a USB cable - so the answer is "No!"
Anything connected to the computer is called a peripheral
A printer may be used by anyone. A personal computer is typically connected to the printer. The drivers for the printer must be installed on the computer. The user must give a print command.
Network printing works like normal printing as far as your document is concerned, but the computer does a little more work. Normally, the computer sends the document to a printer physically plugged in to it and it prints. 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.
A network printer is shared by more than one computer. A local printer is directly connected to one computer. But the printer can be set up as a local or a network printer.
Computer ink is the ink for your printer. When your printer is connected to your computer, it monitors how much ink you have left. All you need to is buy more.
