How does a web printer differ from a network printer?
145287
I believe (if I understand you correctly) that a web printer is one that can be printed to "from the web" in a way. The web printer has a statec IP (or a very good pointer) and people that work from home, or travel will be able to print on the office printer. The static IP can be accessed from anywhere in the world (as long as you have internet access) and you know that printers IP.\n\nThe network printer will print from anywhere on the network (LAN, WAN, MAN), provided the user has permission to print to that printer.\n\nIf you need more information you can email me.

you have to share the printer on the computer it is attached to, and have either a network or workgroup defined.  this will vary by operating system, so search "printer sharing" in your computers' help documentation.  i recommend the workgroup solution, but i'm biased, as i'm using it personally, and found it very easy to setup.  in addition to the two comps with NICs and your printer, you'll also need a wireless router.  good luck!

Since it's a network printer, you don't add it to your computer at all. You add it to your network.\n\nIf you don't have a network, you need to acquire a router (or switch or hub), and connect both the computer and the printer to the router.

Not sure about your particular printer or even if it is possible over lan. however - To find the IP of the printer simply go to the ip of your config of your router and you will be able to find the ip address. Concerening using ftp to connect. Erm is this really what it is. I spose it could be but its a bit odd. read the manual on the limitations of conecting over lan.

The model of your printer does not affect being able to print internet pages.  It has more to do with the software you use to do the printing.\nWhen you're viewing a web page, there is no difference between printing that and printing a document from your own computer.\nSo the answer is yes, no matter what model of printer you have.

It's easy to find this in two units, but I haven't found a 1 unit in any of the major brands yet.  If your printer is wireless, you may want to go with a wireless switch & print server, and just plug it into your router. \nA quick search on wireless print servers turned up  Netgear WGPS606    D-Link DP-G310  and   Belkin F1UP0001    Most of them get medium ratings, instead of 5 stars, largely because they don't work with every printer out there, so check before you buy.

Assuming you are using Windows\nGo to control panel -> printers - > choose your printer and rightclick on it. Choose share and give a share name. \nand then from onther network printers should search for it from NetWork Neighbourhood.

• Click Start and then click Control Panel. \n \n• Click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Printers and Faxes. \n \n• In the Printers and Faxes folder, I clicked the printer's icon and, in the tasks pane, I clicked Share This Printer. \n \n• I opened the printer's Properties dialog box, and clicked on the Sharing tab. \n \n• I clicked Share Name, and then clicked OK. \n \n\nThat's it—the printer was immediately available for other computers to use.\n\nNow that I had a network printer, I was ready to connect to it and print from other computers on the network.\n\nTo connect to the printer\n\n• I opened Control Panel, and clicked Printers and Other Hardware. \n \n• I clicked Add a Printer. \n \n• Instead of adding a local printer, though, I clicked Printer Connection and then browsed the network for the printer. \n \n\nThe whole process took less than a minute before I was printing to the network printer as though it was connected to the computer

I just installed a networked printer on my network.  I had to install the printer drivers onto the computer that isn't hooked to the printer as well for it to work.  It could also be your firewall.  I had to get my firewall set up correctly.  Once I did, everything works fine now.

******IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A DISK\n\n1) Connect the printer cable to the appropriate port on your computer according to the printer manufacturer's instructions. \n\n2) Plug the power cord of the printer into a wall outlet and turn the printer on. \n\n3) Open Printers and Faxes. \n\n4)Under Printer Tasks, click Add a printer to open the Add Printer Wizard, and then click Next. \n\n5)Click Local printer or stand-alone network printer, clear the Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer check box, and then click Next. \n\n6) Most computers use a parallel port (LPT1) to send information to a printer that's directly attached to the computer. So in the Use the following port list, click LPT1: (Recommended Printer Port), and then click Next. Some plotters, however, may connect to the computer through one of the serial (COM) ports. If that's the case for you, click one of the serial (COM) ports. \n\n7) Follow the directions that appear. \nWhen you are finished, the printer appears in Printers and Faxes. If you want to print a test page, first make sure your printer is turned on and ready to print.

You do not need a network server for this printer, basically from what I can find you for you you just make sure it has power plug the network cable into the router and into the printer,  then you will have to get the IP address from the printer as the printer uses DHCP to obtain an IP automatically, to get the ip of the printer simple press and release the continue button (>) and it should print a status page or something like. Check out the source I have provided below its pretty easy to follow and read.\n\nAnd I do believe you will need to run the software on each computer for them to be able to print without having to refer to another computer.

sorry, but you got it wrong. you have either not a router but an access point or you bought the wrong print server.\nwith the print server you bought, your router should look like this (it should have a 4 port switch)\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowImage.asp?Image=33%2D122%2D022%2D14%2Ejpg%2C33%2D122%2D022%2D15%2Ejpg%2C33%2D122%2D022%2D16%2Ejpg%2C33%2D122%2D022%2D17%2Ejpg%2C33%2D122%2D022%2D18%2Ejpg%2C33%2D122%2D022%2D20%2Ejpg&CurImage=33%2D122%2D022%2D15%2Ejpg&Description=NETGEAR+WGT624+IEEE+802%2E3%2C+IEEE+802%2E11b%2Fg+Wireless+Firewall+Router+%2D+Retail\nor you can get a wireless print server (this works with an access point) but i wouldn't recommend it, because a new router with 4 port switch is cheaper.\nthe printer is hooked to the print server and the Cat5(e) cable (RJ45 regular) goes from the print server to one of the 4 ports on the router.

Go to \n\nhttp://dyesubinks.com/index.php?pageto=printers.htm\n\nIt should answer your question.

Have you checked for printer and file aharing to be activated when you set up the network?\n\nIt could also otherwise be a firewall issue.\n\nTry the printer sharing thing. it should work

By set I presume you mean install the software. That depends on the speed of your machine, the printer software, etc.\n\nGenerally, it should not take more than a few minutes.\nEven assembling and connecting to the computer is relatively easy. \n\nI also presume you are talking about a stand alone PC and a stand alone printer, no networking.\n\nIn the case of networking, it depends on the number of machines that are going to use the printer and the way they have been programmed.\nst
