If you have one pc and multiple PC that need to print to it then you can make your printer into a print server. A print server allow multiple users to share a printer from anywhere on the network without division the printer on your computer. This way you do not need to have the pc with the printer attached to it turned on for the other computer to use the printer.

Print server devices

You can buy one of these print servers for around from manufacture such as Netgear and D-Link. These devices normally plug into your similar or USB port on your printer.

From there it converts it to an Ethernet interface out to your network. You assign an IP address to it or have your DHCP device assign one for you. You can usually give it a expressive name to make it easier to find on the network. Once it’s install you access the print server though a web based remote organization console or other supplied software. Then you can setup the proper drivers on all of your other pc and then everyone can print to the printer as though they were directly connected.
