Understanding Wireless Printing

When it comes to wireless printing from your home or office, you have various options to choose from. Before you choose a wireless printing method, it's important to understand what each option entails. Doing so will ensure that you choose ' and invest in ' a printing tool that's right for your needs.

The most traditional way of connecting a printer to a WiFi access point is to install a print server. However, while this method has worked for countless individuals and companies over the years, a recurring issue is that it places a limit on where you can actually situate the printer ' the main reason being that it requires a cable connection between your printer and printer server. What's more, this method poses compatibility issues, as the print server is usually purchased on its own, and therefore isn't always compatible with some of the other computer equipment. You can always opt for direct, wired connections between a router and a printer, but a cabled connection to a router will also affect your mobility in the home.

Another option is printer sharing ' when your desktop PC is used to enable wireless laptop printing. This is another method that has worked for many homes. However, it requires that the computer is fully on at all times, meaning it can't go into sleep mode. This method also requires two laptops or computers ' one to hook up to your printer, and the other to work on wirelessly ' which not everyone has access to.

One of the more successful methods of wireless printing today uses both a wireless printer and a router ' and because many computers made in recent years are wireless capable, there are usually no compatibility issues with this method. Using a wireless printer with a router enables anyone to print within a wireless network, giving the user full mobility within that network. It also eliminates all cables and chords, meaning there's less clutter. Finally, this method of wireless printing enables multiple users to print on a single printer, saving time, space and money.

With today's advanced technology, your printing options don't end there. In fact, when it comes to home and office printers, the varieties virtually seem endless. Printer companies now offer all types of router-enabled wireless printers including those that can also scan, fax, feed documents, access media card slots, and more. So it's no wonder that multi-functional, router-enabled wireless printers ' better known as
