Can you have more than one printer hooked up to a computer at the same time?

Definately. I would ask someone more proffessional but I know there has to be a way of doing it when you open the print menu. (that's on windows)

hmm if u mean ur printer has a peripheral output (LPT port) and ur computer doesnt have that, then u can get a converter to change either the computer or the printer.

When you have a wireless printer connected to your computers with wireless ethernet cards.

If the printer upstairs is attached to another PC, then go to the Printers folder and make sure that you have 'SHARED' that printer, then you will probably have to install the printer drivers too, it will ask you if it is locally connected or on a network, choose network. the rest is plain sailing.\nOr you can walk upstairs and plug that printer into your usb port, AFTER installing the printer drivers.\nIf the upstairs printer is a networked printer - i.e. NOT attached to a PC, then on installing the printer driver it will again ask you if it is networked, and search for it.

Never heard of that, but it would probably be easier to get a network hub and set up a network.\n\nThat would allow sharing of a printer (as well as internet connection, and a lot of other things).

Give print. It'll show all the printers on the network. Then choose your printer and then ok.

First, I am assuming the printer has either USB or parallel interfaces. \n\n1. You need to install its driver into one of your computer.\n2. After installation, on that computer, share the printer\n3. Go to the other computer, look up the shared printer and added that as remote printer\n4. You should be able to print from both computers\n\nP.S. If your printer is USB interface, get a printer server (see below link)

First, how are you able to select the second printer? is it through an external a/b switch? if so, sorry cant do it.\n\nSecond, on the computer with both prints, open the control panel and then open the printers folder, on the printer that is not accessible on the other computer, right click and goto sharing and security, from their ensure the second printer is set to be shared. if it isnt, share it and then go to your remote computer and try to install it again. \n\nThird, put the second printer on the second computer.

It depends on what kind of a port your printer has.  There are different types of printer ports such as the parallel port (a really large one with lots of pics), USB (small one like the one that your computer mouse or the webcam has with no pins), etc.  First verify what ports are available on your computer.  Then plug the data cord of the printer with the paraller or USB port into the back of the computer.  Also plug the power cord into the power outlet.  The printer also comes with a software installation disc and a manual.  You can refer to that for more detailed instructions on setting up the printer.

Yes you can easly by one of two ways\n1- copy the file that you has downloaded to the computer that have printer and print it\n\n2- if u can put the 2 computers in the same network, you can right click on the printer icon\n"control panel -> printers -> you printerIcon" then click on share

You need to be installing the printer in Admin Mode so you can correct any errors thay may occur. If you install as a plain user you won't have any access to change printers settings. I personally always set myself up as a Computer Administrator to give me full access and not security conflicts will occur.

It depends on the printer. Some are serial, some are parallel, some are USB, some can do more than one of these. Check the manual for your printer to see what device types are specified.\n\n(Note to Macrophage: serial printers used to be quite popular because you could run the transmission cable further than with a parallel printer; the advent of networking made this less relevant.)

If you use USB printers you could have tons.

You have to add the printer to the pc/laptop that need to print, add printer and use network not local, choose the printer using browse button, continue with the windows install guide, print a test page to confirm.\nUnless you have a networking problem, like you can't even see the other pc at network neighbourhood, otherwise the above solution should work.
