You have a local area network (LAN) in your home and one in the business office that you own. You want to print from home to your office and vice versa. What should you do?
To print from home to your office LAN and vice versa, you can follow these steps:
1. Ensure both your home and office networks have network-enabled printers that are shared over the network.
2. Connect your printer to your home LAN and verify that it is visible and accessible on the network.
3. Install the printer drivers on your home computer, if required, to enable communication with the printer.
4. Share the printer on your home network. This can usually be done through the printer settings or control panel on your home computer.
5. On your office LAN, ensure that the printer is properly connected and shared with the office computers.
6. Install the printer drivers on your office computer, if needed.
7. Connect to the printer on your office LAN by searching for it in the "Printers & Scanners" or "Devices and Printers" section of your office computer's control panel.
8. Once connected, you should be able to print from your home computer to your office printer by selecting it as the default printer or choosing it when printing a document.
9. Similarly, you can print from your office computer to your home printer by connecting to it as a network printer and selecting it as the default printer or specifying it during the print process.
Ensure that both LANs are securely set up and properly configured to allow network printing. Additionally, verify if any firewalls or security settings are blocking the printer access, and adjust them as required.
