connecting 3 pc's to one laser printer

Zeppi · 2009-10-13 21:07:38

Hi all, I need to hook 3 pc's to one laser printer via usb connection, is this possible and if so what do I need to do?. The printer has one usb connection and one ethernet connection. I prefer to connect via usb if possible because I'm not that good in networking. regards, Zeppi

If the printer has ethernet then thats the way to go, PM me and I'll step you through what is needed to get it working. Best solution is using the network as then no machine has to be on to print.
