HOW DO YOU NETWORK one printer to work with two iMAC computers through home wireless internet connection?
The problem with your solution is that the computer that the printer is connected to must always be on to act as a print server to the rest of the network. I had a similar problem where I have a couple lap tops and 2 desktops all trying to print on one printer. I found the perfect solution with something called a network usb hub Here’s a link to the one I use: http://www.amazon.
network printer is different from normal printers,network printer need not to be installed in a system,it is installed on network,means a network printer can directly connect to a switch or to a hub,there will be an ip address for the netowrk printer,but a normal printer doesn’t have like that,it is just installing on a computer,so here if it is a usb printer then install it on any of the imac and when if you need to print from the second imac locate the printer on the printing wizard .
