Hi guys


My gf has a network at her house, 4 machines sharring the same connection. I was wondering how do I add a printer so that any of them can print to it ?

What do I need to look at for ? I cant see any instructions online?

Any help guys?

Many thanks
 
As long as the printer is network ready, just assign it a network address and install the drivers to the client computers.
 
The best solution (as mentioned above) is to get a Network Ready Printer.

Otherwise you can share an existing printer by configuring the Sharing.

Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared.
