It is possible to share most printers with the other computers in a network.

Answer:It depends on your particular printer and what you are trying to do.

Many printers today can print pictures directly from camera memory cards. You put the memory card in the slot for that type card and you can print pictures using the printers control panel.

If you have a home network, any printer can be networked from your computer allowing other computers on the network to print on it.

Some printers can be connected directly to the network (without having to be connected to a computer) and anyone on the network can use it.

Which part of the human body is a printer compared to?

A computer printer can be compared to human hands. Just like the human hands can be used for writing, a computer printer can print and draw things. Of course, that is where the comparison ends, since a printer can only print and draw, while the human hands can do way much more.

There are only 2 reasons why this might be happening. 1. The printer only prints in black or you have run out of other colored ink. 2. In Printer Options [File/Print...] it may have been set to Print "Black & White". Hope this helps, let me know please. Æ =)

How to Install a Printer?

When you install a printer on your computer, you are letting your operating system know that a specific kind of printer is hooked up. To install a printer, start by following the printer’s instruction manual to assemble and hook up the printer. Once you have done this you need to install the printer software. Go to the start menu, find settings, and choose printers. From you you will double click where it says Add Printers. This will open up a wizard called the Print Wizard. The Print Wizard will walk you through the steps of installing your printer. If it is a network printer, you should know its network path before completing the wizard. The wizard will ask you to insert the CD for your printer’s software. In some cases a pre-installed version of the software may already be available on the computer, although it could be outdated. The wizard will ask you if you want to use the new printer as your default printer. You should select this option only if this is the printer that you want your computer to use automatically when you choose to print a document. This means that if you want your computer to print from a different printer, you will need to select that option from the print menu whenever you print a document. If this is the only printer that you have installed on the computer than select that you would like for this printer to be the default printer. The wizard will then ask you if you would like to print out a test page. It is a good idea to do this. The test page will let you know if the printer is working properly. It will show you what the test page looks like on the screen. If it does not look like this when it prints out then there is a problem with the software. When you are satisfied with the set up of your new printer, click on the button that says finish at the bottom of the wizard. This will close the wizard and allow you to resume normal computer work. That is it, from this point forward your new printer should be working.

How can you prove a printer problem is not with the printer itself but lies with the network computer OS or application?

It depends on printer. For laser printers it's very easy to do, just print out test page using controls located on the printer itself. With other printer is harder because of absence of testing interface. The only choice you have is to connect the printer to computer try to get it printing. If does on one computer and does not do it somewhere else you point is proved.

What is a printer used for?

You can hook more than one printer up to your system. Your default printer is basically the one that your document automatically goes to when you click on print. Whichever printer you use the most is the one you want to set as your default. It is usaully going to be the printer that you use to do basic tasks like print emails, letters, or pages that you just want a hard copy of. You would leave more specialized printers or printers that use expenive inks as printers that you switch to, instead of your default.
