hi

Im new to networking. i have a printer (HP LaserJet 1020) and i want to share it between the 4 computer with windows 7 ,one with windows 8 OS and one with windows XP installed. I don't want it to be share like if i want to print a page then the system on which it is installed has to be turned on. If just the printer is on i can print the page using any of the machine. I tried searching it but the results just showed that you share the printer by the share printer option on the system.

thank you

Solution 1

You need an ethernet interface in the printer.
Usually there is a N in the end of the HP model number.

After that, the printer is declared to each user as a network printer.
