I have a router with several computers and I can printer on a non-Network Printer with all my computers because I'm sharing the Printer thought my Windows 7 Workgroup. Now I just ordered a Network Printer which is the Samsung ML-2955-ND thought amazon.com for $79 and it's a duplex printer also which is called a Workgroup printer. What value is a Network Printer vs. just a regular printer like my Brothers HL-2140? |

You can connect via wifi and any computer on the same network will be able to print on that printer wirelesly. |

The main advantage is that the printer doesn't have to be connected to a computer, which then has to be turned on if you want to print from another computer on the LAN. Of course, quite a few routers allow the connection of a non-network printer via USB, which has the same effect. |

Yes I use a switch with built in print server, but they are not available anymore at least the one I have isn't. It does make life easy though as I can print on any computer anywhere in the house regardless of which computers are on or off |

You don't need TWO computers to be on. The printer can connect itself onto the RJ45 or Wifi network. Ie. your broadband router. |
