Home Networks: File & Printer Sharing

If you’ve ever wanted to work on a file that resides on another computer in your house without having to walk over to that computer and either copy or email the file, a home network is the solution.

With a home network, all of your computers are connected and all files can be accessed from any machine. Without transferring a file, you can make whatever changes you want to it, no matter where the file is stored.

This convenience also extends to printing. You can set up one printer to the network and print from any computer. Or, you may choose to have more than one printer, such as one that is only for black-and-white copies and one for color copies. You simply choose the printer you want to use and click Print.
