A shared printer can slow down the computer that it is connected to. The PC
will also have to be on in order to print. A network ready printer would
only slow down the printing PC, but depending on memory of printer may not
slow you down. I have an old Minolta Printer on my home network and have
not had any slow downs at all. The printer is set to power down and come
back on when a print job is sent to it.

Subject: DML: OT! Printer Help
I'm sorry to bug the list about this but I've received the best computer
help from people on this list.
Can anybody please explain to me the difference and pro/cons between sharing
a printer on a network (one connected to a workstation) versus using a
network ready printer (I guess it would be connected directly to the
router)?
Please feel free to reply directly so as to not annoy people that are Dakota
only users or Gas/politics users :)
Thanks!
James
