How do I print wireless? Do I just need to buy a print server?
Jan 21, 2009 by H1ppychic | Posted in Other - Computers
I have a wireless router at home with 3 laptops connected. I would be able to print to the printer with all 3 laptops connect without a USB. Should I just buy a print server wireless? If so, which one do you recommend? What SEPC should I be looking? Any additional pointer?
There are 3 ways you can configure the printer in place. It is good that you have a router. If you could have mentioned the name of the printer and then I could check if its got a network (Ethernet). This printer must be setup in the setup of infrastructure, when a printer is connected directly to a computer wired to wireless while his peers called for less ad-hoc installation.
Although you can install the network's recommended to disable your anti-virus, many times it has been found to block the detection of the printer installation setup.
Method 1 (if you have an Ethernet port) Connect the printer to the router with a cable network. Make sure that the three computers are connected to the router. Use the disc from the printer or the Add / Remove Programs to remove the old printer software installed. Then install the printer software on three systems. When installing network select Install. This will help all three computers to communicate individually with the printer.
2nd method (print server wireless) This method can be used when there is no Ethernet port. However you need to know if your printer supports by the manufacturer.Dell printers have called Dell Wireless 3300 adapter. It is only compatible with certain models. To do this it must first be connected to the PC and all three need to have the card installed, then the adapter must be connected to the printer and the printer software must be installed on three computers.
3rd method (print sharing) For this printer need to be connected to a computer with the USB cable and when you want to print the computer that is connected to the printer must be turned on.Go to Control Panel> Printers and Faxes> View installed printers> right click and enable printer sharing. Find the IP address of the computer that the printer is connected to Start> Run> type cmd click Open> type ipconfig and hit enter> IT, you'll see your IP address.
Go to the other two systems. > Start Run type \ \ then the IP address. "It will show the printer icon on the double-click the icon and this will install the printer sharing on two other systems
Hope this helps.

Aug 07, 2007 by scared | Posted in Computer Networking
I have got a wireless router 2wire 1000Hg and i want to set up a print server through it. i have got my pc set up wireless. i want to know how to share files through 2wire also. thank you.
setup file & print sharing on the PC and keep the PCs in the same workgroup
Under Control Panel > Network connections > Wireless connection properties, make sure file & print sharing is enabled
Then under Control Panel > System > Computer name tab, make sure all PCs are in the same workgroup.
Once you can browse to the PC with the printer from other PCs you can click on the shared printer to install it

Apple's OS X Lion Server Adds New Features, But Raises Questions
14.06.11
While OS X Lion has garnered a lot of media coverage , there's been less information on OS X Lion Server, aside from the features posted on Apple's Web site.
Scanning the feature list and comparing it against Apple's prior server offering, Snow Leopard Server, it's easy to see Lion's new features. However, there are still some questions about OS X Lion Server, especially surrounding client licensing and upgrading a downloaded OS X Lion client to the Server version. For clarification, I posed some questions to an Apple Online Store representative.
Users can download either OS X Lion client for $29.99 or OS X Lion Server for $49.99: It remained unclear, however, what was involved in moving to OS X Lion Server if a user initially downloaded the OS X Lion client. According to the sales rep, a user who downloaded the OS X Lion client for $30 can upgrade to the Server version for an extra $20.
Lion Server is cheaper than Snow Leopard Server, but… Questions remain about OS X Lion client licensing and client OS compatibility. Leopard Server was priced at $499. Compared to the price of $49.99 for OS X Lion Server, Snow Leopard seems obscenely more expensive. Consider though that the $499 price came with unlimited client licensing.
