You could either set it up connected to an always on computer and use that computer as the print server or you could buy a print server and attach that to your network. The printer needs a way to access the network.
If you are going to use a computer as the print server server then the solution lies with using samba or smb shares. If you are interested in making a more static setup then you should read up on cups network printing using ipp. As for buying a device to be the server you'll only need to setup cups to print via ipp to the server. Plenty of tutorials out there but make sure you know how you want to do it. Scott Vargovich <[email protected]> wrote: >Hi there! > >I hope everybody had a Merry Christmas.
