How do i get all the computers in the house to be connected by one printer? -

I was wondering if it is capable to connect all the computer in my house into one printer, so if it would b easier for someone to print the files they want to one main printer.

There are two ways to do this. For both you need the computers attached in an Ethernet network. Share the printer on the computer that it is attached to. This is free, but the system that the printer is attached to has to be on all the time, or at least whenever you want to print. Make sure that you enable printer and file sharing on the computer first, then enable sharing for the printer. The second is to get a print server, either wired if you can hook it separately into the network, or wireless if you can not and have a wireless network. This costs money, but means that you do not have to have one computer on all the time.

You need to set up a wireless network, and you need to get a wireless adapter for printers, which can be bought at any large electronics store... you can ask an associate for the details...
