Adding a printer to your network
Instead of plugging a printer into your computer, you can add a printer to your network. To add
a printer to the network, do one of the following:
•
Connect your printer to your networked computer, then share the printer. For information
about sharing printers, see
“Sharing drives and printers” on page 52 .
•
Connect your printer to your access point if the access point includes a USB or parallel port.
For more information, see the instructions that came with your access point.
•
Use a printer that has built-in wireless networking.
•
Use a wireless print server.
Important
Before you can print a file across the network, you must install the driver for the printer
on the computer you are sending the file from. You can obtain the printer driver and
installation instructions from the CD that shipped with your printer or from the
manufacturer’s Web site.
