Sharing Printers on a Home Network

There are several reasons to connect and share printers on a home network. You can:

  • Print to a network printer from any computer on the network.
  • Place your printer anyplace you have wired or wireless access in your house.
  • Reduce printer ink and paper costs by using fewer printers.

See Chapter 13: “Printing, Faxing, and Scanning” to learn how to:

  • Choose printers.
  • Install printers on your local computer.
  • Install and share network printers attached to home servers and network attached storage (NAS).
  • Use printers with homegroups in Windows 7, and with File and Printer Sharing in Windows XP and Windows Vista.
