In many offices, install a local network in order to exchange data, use general technical means. For the middle and small office it is easier to install one powerful printer, instead of several small. It is necessary to connect it so that it is possible to access it from all the institutions from all computers. To turn into a network regular printer, you need to correctly change some parameters of devices.

There are print devices connected to the router directly, bypassing the computer, but they are expensive. The easiest and most inexpensive way is to make a publicly available regular printer. It connects to one of the office computers in the standard way - via LPT or USB port, then make it publicly available on the network. This network use of the printer has limitations on its capabilities.

A computer or laptop to which a common printer connected physically must be active maximum time on the network. Drivers and software Install on it from the disk, always supplied with the printer, or find and download on the website on the manufacturer's website. Check the performance of the system.

Make a printer publicly available. To configure, open in the "Devices and Printers" control panel (or "Printers and Faxes"). Find the installed printer, open it "properties" by clicking the right mouse button on the icon of your printer. In the "Properties" window, the desired tab is "access". Against the "Shared Access to this Printer" row, check the box.

Leave the network name of the printer proposed by the system or specify your own. For example: "OKI_C510DN". Under this name on the local network, the printer will be recognized as a shared resource. Name Set any, but without spaces. On all computers, the united network, the same operating system is installed as on the computer with the connected printer - click "OK". The procedure is completed.

In the case when there are computers on the local network with another operating system, set the appropriate drivers for them. In the "Properties" window in the "Drivers" section of the "Access" tab, click the "Advanced Drivers" button. A list of drivers in which to lift the checkmarks against those you may need to be needed for other Windows. Pay attention to the "Installed" column if there is no word "no", then you need to put a drive with drivers from the printer manufacturer, or the selected drivers download from its official website. For instance: HP., Canon, Epson., Oki..

Now you can use the printer as a shared network resource. On the remote computer, go to the "Devices and Printers" section (or "Printers and Faxes"), call the "Printer Setup Wizard". The window will open, in it as a method of connection, select "Network printer", then "Next". It remains to correctly specify the path to the installed network printer. Follow the syntax: two "direct slash" sign, the name of the computer on the network, "Slash", the network name of the printer. For example: "\\\\ mycomp \\ oki_c510dn". Click "Next". The process of installing the printer will be completed by the system offer Print Page - Do it.
Pros of such a network printer connection: There is no need to buy new equipment, it is standard for Windows, easy to perform, without additional software. Cons: A computer with a physically connected printer should work even before use, its slow motion during the remote printing session, long waiting for the imprint, especially for color printing.
