Subject: Re: Hooking printer to office network



If it is a network capable printer, and seeing you said it has ethernet it should be, you should be able to connect the cat 5 cable to it, and the other end to your router, then set up your machines to print to it.

Setting up a print driver on a computer to print to a network printer is a little tricky though. You may (and should if possible) have to set up your printer with an IP address, which you should be able to do through the printer controls, or you may have to read the manual to find out how. Anyway, once done, when setting up the driver on each machine, you will likely have to set up a network port for each one using the IP address you gave the printer. Again, the manual should have directions for doing this. It's not necessarily something you can give directions for due to the differences in print driver software and operating systems on various PC's.
