Summary: Printing while connected to a network. Learn about network printers and how to access them in this free video.
"Today I’m going to talk to you about how to use a network printer. When you’re in a local network, you can share printers and other similar devices and that way you can keep the printer in one location and hooked up to one workstation and you can print to it from multiple different places. To share a printer in your network, you can use your system preferences to go into your printer settings. This allows you to designate printers as shared on the network through the sharing tab. We have two printers shared on our network here. To access a shared printer, once you make sure that you’re on the same network as other computers in your area, you can select that printer from the printer list when you’re printing a document. Under the list, you’ll see printers that are currently installed on your system, options to add printers and then you’ll also see a section for shared printers, these are printers that are on the network. When you’re in an environment with multiple printers on the network, make sure you’re selecting the right one before you print."
