- You need to install the printer to one of your PCs locally. So run a USB cable from your printer to one of the PCs on the network, then when you install the printer set it up as a network printer! simple as that
- do you want the printer in a remote location, or connected with the usb cable to the router? There should be a ethernet port in the back of the printer to connect the two.
- You have a chioce of setting the printer up on a computer that is on the network or buying a print server with USB port hookups. The downside to putting the printer on the PC is, the PC must be on all the time. A print server is a relatively small device that is the size of a hub or a modem and it controls print jobs on the network. The printer plug right into it and it costs about $40.00.
- go to wal-mart and buy a linkys print server,best thing i ever did and very easy to set up.if i can do it u can too.
