How To Connect All My Computers In The House To One Printer?
I have five computers in the house and one Cannon printer, it is one that can print, scan, copy,etc. How can i set it up so I can print from all the computers instead of sending documents down to the primary desktop? If you know how to do this can you please explain in detailed steps, so I can understand clearly. Thank you for your help!

Wireless hub with IP addresses for each satellite computer. Enabling each wireless linked computer to print via the common wireless hub.
The printer is linked to a hardwired hub, which is linked to the wireless hub.
Check D-LINK brand, … I have an APPLE AIRPORT hub that works great for my laptops and tower. Each remote computer will have to have an airport card on board. Most newish computers come with one, you can also add one if needed.
I just bought a used mini print server (Netgear ps121) I plugged it into the router, printer and power. I did a very quick software install on a Vista & XP laptop. With this I have the same functions as I do on the hard wire (see ink levels, set preferences) It was super easy.
I think you have to do that in networking. You can search it in google of how to do that.
