How to Set Up a Laser Printer on a Network With Vista
If you are installing a laser printer to your home network, connected to the main router or hub, you must set up the printer as a network printer in Windows Vista. The greatest advantage of network printers is that you do not need a specific computer to be switched on to have access to the printer. Depending on the laser printer, you may need the original installation disc for the printer, unless the drivers are common drivers.
