Setting up a network printer
Network printers—devices designed to connect directly to a computer network as a stand-alone device—were once found mostly in large offices. No more.
Printer makers are increasingly offering inexpensive inkjet and laser printers that are designed to serve as network printers on home networks. Network printers have one big advantage over shared printers: they're always available.
There are two common types of network printers: wired and wireless.
Wired printers have an Ethernet port, which you connect to your router or hub via an Ethernet cable.
Wireless printers typically connect to your home network using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth technology.
Some printers offer both options. The instructions that came with your model should tell you exactly how to install it.
