The basics of connection are the same and we will go each one step by step.

However, before leaving home to purchase hardware, do not forget to take a note of the basics of your home network: the IP Address block, the IP address that you will assign to the printer, and so on.

Lexmark X2670 Mac And The

If you are working with a Windows computer because of your work, if one of your kids is working with a Mac and the other enthusiast one is working with Linux, then all of the family members can use the same printer without going through troublesome installation andor driver problems.

When you complete the connection, you can place your printer anywhere and get going.

The first thing you have to do is to check if your printer has an Ethernet port.

If yes, check your wireless router and see if there is one spare Ethernet port.

The worst-case scenario is not having an Ethernet port on your wireless router.

Then we have to do some shopping and get a print server; you can get a wireless one for about USD 70.

After the purchase, you can configure your print server and plug it to the spare Ethernet jack on your wireless router.

Before you go and buy the print server, make sure that you know what connection your printer supports - USB or parallel port - since this will affect the print server that you will choose.

For example, if you have a legacy printer with only a parallel port connection and purchase a print server that only supports USB connection, you will waste your money.

The switch does not cost much, about USD 20 for 10100 Megabit and about USD 40 for 101001000 Megabit (Gigabit).

If you have a plan for expanding your wired network, such as adding network attached storage devices, then I suggest purchasing a Gigabit one (you can check the article about the network attached storage (NAS) drives here.) What you have to do then, is to connect the wireless routers Ethernet port to the switch and then plug your printer to the print server and the print server to the switch.

But, if you are not in desperate need for a wireless router, I suggest you to wait for the Wi-Fi N standard and then go for purchase.

If your printer has an Ethernet connection, you just need a switch to plug your wiredwireless router, your computer, and the printer.
