PRINTER
What is Printer?
A printer is an external
hardware output device
responsible for taking
electronic data stored on a
computer or computing
device and generating a
hard copy of that data.
Printers are one of the
most commonly used to
print text and photos.

Setting up a wireless printer


If you have a laptop, or several, and don't really
want to get up to connect to a printer whenever you
need to print?There is no need to buy a printer for
every computer or to create a print station from
which everyone has to print. Set up the printer to
connect to your existing Wi-Fi network, and as long
as you are on the same network, you will be able to
print.
The specific steps vary by manufacturer and model,
but we will go over the general steps for connecting
a printer to a Wi-Fi network. For specific steps for
your printer, check the manual, or better yet, the
printer's support website.

The Easy: Printer Has Wi-Fi



Wireless networks are typically set up to use DHCP, where the
network router automatically assigns an IP address to computers and
other devices.Just power it on and scroll through the menu interface to
make sure Wi-Fi is turned on.Select the correct wireless network, enter
the password if prompted, and the printer will grab an IP address
from the network.
Not all printers will let you select a specific network or enter a
password. Check to see if the printer came with setup software.You
connect the computer (temporarily!) to the printer and run the
installation software, which will find the wireless network, prompt you
for the network password, and finish the setup.
On Windows 7, it's under the Start menu as Devices and Printers, or
Printer under the main Control Panel. Mac OS X has its own Add
Printer menu. Step through the Add Printer wizard to find the printer
on the network and install the drivers.

The Less Easy: Printer Has an Ethernet Port


If your printer is not wireless enabled, but it has a built-in
Ethernet port, you can set up the printer somewhere near your
wireless router or switch. This automatically puts your printer on
the network. When you try to set up the printer on each
computer, it should find the printer and let you install the drivers
seamlessly.
If you are trying to set up the printer and your computer can't
find it on the network, there is a workaround by adding the
printer as a local (USB) printer. On Windows machines, when
you are prompted for the port, select a TCP/IP port so that you
can enter the printer's IP address. In OS X, you add the printer
as an IP Printer and manually enter the IP address. You get the
printer's IP address by printing out a test page or looking on the
printer display.

The Not Easy: Printer Has Only USB

For Mac users with AirPort Time
Capsule, AirPort Extreme, or
AirPort Express, you can plug in
a regular USB printer and share
it over the Wi-Fi network. Some
network-attached-storage (NAS)
boxes also offer printer sharing,
which means you just connect the
printer to the box's USB port. The
printer is set up through the NAS
administrator interface.

Very Easy: Google Cloud Print


Google Cloud Print, which connects your printers to the
Web. That may sound appealing to some people—don't
forget, if you have an Internet outage, Cloud Print won't
work—because wireless printing becomes as simple as
signing up for a Google Cloud Print account.
You need Google Chrome on your computer to sign up.
From the menu button, go into Settings, and then Show
Advanced Settings. There is a Google Cloud Print section
which lets you Add Printers. If you have a Cloud Ready
printer—Brother, HP, Canon, Epson, Oki, Samsung, and
Dell, to name a few—and it's powered on, you'll see your
printer listed. You can also click on Classic Printer to
associate your regular printer to your account. And that's
it.
