Wireless Printers?

[Tractor]

Help needed!
i need to buy a new printer and ive seen a wireless one from Lexmark.
We have 2 Windows laptops, 1 macbbok and 2 Mac Desktops.
At the moment we only have one printer connected to one mac, couldnt get the printer to function over the network.
So my question is - Will a wireless printer allow all my pcs/laptops to connect and print to it?
And also is Lexmark any good, if not any recomendations appreciated.

Hi

Yes you can set it up to work on all your machines. I dont know much about Lexmark though I have a Canon MP800R and its superb. Networked to 3 pc's

It doesn't have to be a wireless printer, but yet it will allow you to share it with all your computers.

Check that there are MAC drivers available. I'd also check the price of the cartridges before buying a printer. I seem to recall that when I was considering a cheap Lexmark printer replacing the cartridges cost more than the printer.

As an alternative to a wireless printer, you can use a normal USB printer connected to a PC (or MAC) that if the PC is always left on can be shared accross the network. You can also get an ethernet (RJ-45 wired network) printer which will work accross your network. The fact that the printer is not actually connected wirelessly doesn't matter, you can still print from a wireless laptop in another room.
