Wireless printing can be a great help in that it is faster and easier than transferring documents to other computers to print.
Some things to keep in mind:
- When you share a printer or drive on your network, ALL users have access to it by default. Make sure to require a password for access to your computer, and its components. Share your drives and printers at your own risk.
-ENABLE WIRELESS SECURITY (Radius, WEP, etc) to limit unauthorized access to your network.
To setup wireless print, first you need:
A printer
A wireless network
A computer to host the printer
