Hi Patricia and Lenny, While it's true that a printer connected to a computer can be shared over a network, it is not a true network printer. A wired network printer is connected directly to your modem or router via ethernet cable. In a typical shared printer configuration,the printer and the computer it's plugged into must be on for let's say, a laptop to access it. The advantage of a network printer is that it connects directly to your modem or router via an Ethernet cable. This allows any computer on your network to access the printer whether they are connected to the network by wire or wirelessly. In this configuration typically, desktop computers are connected via Ethernet cables to the modem or router, and laptops wirelessly. Remember, the wireless connection only exists between the laptop and the modem or router, not the printer, for example. As long as the laptop has access to the network, it should be able to use the printer anywhere within range of the access point. There is probably a way to print to a printer from a remote location via the internet, but I have never done it, and would be concerned with the security of the network. HTH, Rick Justice

It is hard wired to my computer. I never convinced my wife to set it up wireless for her MacBook laptop. Now my daughter asked me if it is also an air printer, where she can print something from her home via the internet to my printer. I never thought about looking for that capability. Does anyone use that and if so how difficult is it to set up? --- Please visit my home page, it is motivational, educational, inspirational with a touch of humor.
