Printers Allow The Ability To Print Copies Of Documents Or Pictures On The Paper From A Computer.

There Are Several Different Ways That A Computer Can Connect To A Printer. The Most Common Way Is By Using A USB Or Parallel Cable. This Is Called As A Local Connection.

Because The Printer Is Directly Connected To The Computer.  

Other Way Of Connection

Or You Can Also Connect A Printer Through A Network If The Printer Has A Network Interface Such As An Ethernet Port (or) A Wireless Antena. These Are Known As NETWORK PRINTERS. Network Printers Are Convenient Because The Printer Can Be Placed Anywhere In A Home Or Office.   As Long As Its Connected To The Network.  

An Other Method Of Connecting 

An Other Method Of Connecting Is Through A Network Share For Example

You Can Allow Other Computers That Are On Your Network Connect To Your Local Printer By Sharing Your Printer Or With The Network. So After The Printer Share Setup Is Complete. The Other Computers Can Now Print To The Printer That Is Connected To Your Computer. So Your Computer Basically Acts As A Gateway For Other Computers To Access Your Printer. But The Drawback Is That Your Computer As To ON In Order For Others To Use Your Printer.  

PRINTERS

There Are Several Different Types Types Of Printers. There Are Non-Impact Printers And Impact Printers  

NON-IMPACT PRINTERS

Printers Print With Out Striking Ink-Ribbon On To Paper. These Include Laser, Inkjet, Thermal

Impact Printers

Impact Printers Are DOT Matrix Printers.

INKJET PRINTER

INKJET PRINTERS Are The Most Common Printers That Are Used For Home Use. An Inkjet Printer Works By The Print Head Moving Back And Forth Across The Paper During Printing. During This Process, The Print Head Places The Ink On The Paper In Very Tiny Dots. In fact These Dots Are So Tiny They Are Smaller In Diameter Than A Human Hair.   And As These Dots Are Precisely Placed They Form To Create An Image On Paper. Inkjet Printers Typically Come With 2 Ink Cartridges. One Is For Colour One Is For Black.   Inkjet Printers Are More Affordable Than Laser Printers. And They Can Produce Photo Quality Results But One Of The Draw Backs. Is That The Ink From The Inkjet Printer May Smudge While Ink From A Laser Printer Does Not Smudge  

Laser Printer

The Next Printer Is Laser Printer.

  Laser Printers Come In Different Sizes From Personal Ones To Larger Ones For Businesses. Laser Printers Provide The Highest Quality Print Available Today. And They Are Most Expensive. And Laser Printer Basically Works By Placing An Electric Charge On A Rotating Drum. Then In Lasers This Charges A Lower Electrical Charge On The Drum. So Basically The Laser Draws The Image That Is Going To Be Printed On The Drum Itself.   Then The Drum Is Coded With A Fine Black Powder Known As 'TONER' And As The Drum Is Being Coded The TONER only Clings To The Areas Where The Laser Has Drawn. Then As The Paper Goes Through The Printer The Toner Is Placed On The Paper.   And The Result Is A High-Quality Print That Is Second To None.\  

THERMAL PRINTER

An Other Non- Impact Printer Is Called A Thermal Printer. Thermal Printers Print By Using HEAT Thermal Printers Use Special Print Paper Called Thermal Paper. And Honest Thermal Paper Is Wax Based Ink. And When Heat Is Applied To This Ink, It Turns Black.

So When A Thermal Printer The Only Thing To Print Had Does Is Applied Heat To The Areas With Ink Should Be Placed. Then When The Ink Is Cooled It Becomes Permanent. And Because Of This Technology Thermal Printers Where Required. Thermal Printers Are Commonly Used For Printing Lables And Barcodes.

  DOT MATRIX PRINTER

Dot Matrix Printers Are Almost Non-Existent Today. They Are Old Technology That Produces Mediocore Print Quality When Compared To Lazer Or Inkjet Printers. And There Are Also Very Noisy. DOT MATRIX Printers Are Impact Printers. The Print Head In A Dot Matrix Printer Moves Across The Paper And As It Moves The Pins On The Print Head Strike Against A Cloth Ink Ribbon Which Then Comes In Direct Contact With The Paper.
