Will an All-In-One printer function on a wireless network?

Question

I've got a Dell 922 All-In-One, and would like to add it to my wireless network, rather than tie it to the docking station of my laptop.

Thank you everyone for the info, but I should have been more specific. I know I will need a print server, and I know how to share printers.

My question - I had heard that all-in-one printers would not work on a network -- had to be installed on 1 machine. I was wondering if anyone had experience to the contrary.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Chk if the printer is Wireless capable ...or you will have to get a USB _Wireless adapter...30$$

In the main computer where the printer is installed, just go to the Printer folder inside of Control Panel. Right click your All in one printer and then Click Sharing. Click on Share this printer in the window that opens and then hit OK.

Get the IP address of your computer, go to Start, Run, type "cmd" enter, type "ipconfig" enter. Write down where it says "Local Area Connection" IP address: "numbers with dots". After this, move to the computer without a printer.

In the other computer, go to Start, Run, type "\\ipaddress\" where ipaddress are the numbers of the 1st computer. When a windows opens asking for a user name and password input those credentials from your computer. If it doesn't ask it will be even better. Now with this command you will open a folder and the printer will be there. Double click the printer and now the 2nd computer will be able to use it.

BTW, both computers have to be in the same WORKGROUP. to check this: Right click My Computer icon on the desktop, go to properties, Computer name tab. There you can see the WORKGROUP name and even change it.

for this reason of very actuality the printer is going to be set up via a instant printer configuration, that's substantial that the region of the printer is roofed via utilising the instant community. indoors a similar way that desktops would desire to need to be indoors the radius of the instant router, the printer would desire to be indoors a similar radius as those desktops in that community. quite, anyplace the on the spot reaches, the printer would desire to suitable be placed there. in spite of if, it would desire to need to be pronounced that corners and spots with low-alerts would desire to be prevented to ward off printing concern concerns and various subject concerns.

it wont unless you have a wireless printer access point.... if it has a lan port then connect it directly to your router and then you can access it wirelessly....

Answer 4

You would need to hook it to a print server.

Do you have a desktop in your network you could hook it to?
