The only disadvantage (for instance, in a busy office) is that data from multiple computers can be sent to the network printer at nearly the same time. A printing queue will form, and each package of data will need to take its turn to be printed. Adding more than one printer to the office network would help ease the problem. In very busy offices, connecting a separate printer to each computer would be initially more expensive to buy and to run (ink cartridges, etc) but would prevent delays in printing.

∙ 9y agoOne of the disadvantages of printer sharing on a network is that it can slow down productivity. When several people are sharing a printer, several people can send items to be printed at the same time. Another disadvantage could be the difficulty in setting up a shared printer.

How do you connect a laptop to a printer hooked up on a PC?
So, for some reason, you do not want to connect the printer directly to the laptop. To connect to the printer via another computer means creating a network, which requires a piece of equipment called a router. Also, both the laptop and the PC will have to have Ethernet capability, which may require installing a Network Interface Card in one or both of them. The printer will have to be configured as a network printer, which requires allowing sharing in the Network Folder on the Control Panel. Then, after you have established your network, you will have to install a network printer on to the laptop. This is done by double clicking on the 'Network Neighborhood' icon on the desktop, then right-clicking on the icon for the printer and selecting 'Install'.
