How do you share a printer? -
It s only possible if your have a network printer with an Ethernet port or built-in wireless print server. If you have USB printers you cannot make them network printers but there is a new nifty belkin product out there that makes 5 wireless USB ports which then you can share amongst the network as it will appear on every PC. The Belkin Network USB hub is only $99 or £60. Hope this helps. Dan
Yeah your best bet is to get one of those Belkin print servers. I found one on ebay for around $50. If you don t have the print server, the computer that the printer is hooked up to will always have to be on when others try to print (in other words, if the host computer is off, nobody will be able to print) but if you wanted to save $50 and just do it that way, you can set it up in Control Panel (Setup a Home Network)
Yes, its possible,but it depends on what make of router you have . whatever make you have may have an adapter that goes from the router to the printer (ethernet -gt; USB). If you have a netgear router, then yes they definitely have one of these adapters.
