How can I make it so all my computers can print off 1 printer?

Question

I do have wireless connection with 2 pcs and 2 laptops.

Answer 1

Either a dedicated print server (under $100) or by sharing the printer off of one computer. If you use this method, make sure all computers are in the same workgroup. Install the printer on one of the machines and enable printer sharing.

Add a new printer to the other machines, and browse the network for the printer that's shared.

Answer 2

Your printer should be able to be connected to the network; just buy a print server ( either wireless or wired ).

For wireless, you'll have to buy both the transmitter & receiver. The transmitter simply plugs into any open ethernet port on the router. The other device, the receiver, plugs into the USB or Parallel port of your printer.

For wired, you'll have only one box that plugs into the router on one end, and into the printer on the other.

They are available for around $30-$50 at most places like Frys, BestBuy, Circuit City, etc.

Answer 3

I believe that you would need a printer that was 'network-enabled'. Connect the printer to the same network as all of your machines and you should be good-to-go

Answer 4

you know the cd that came with your printer well on each computor you want to print from you need to install that program from the disk onto your computor. after that make sure you have the one printer wired to all your computors unless its wireless. and that should do it if not. call geek squad lol.

Answer 5

Set your printer to share on the computer it's hooked to.

"Add Printer" to laptop, etc (Windows will find it!)
