GabbleRatcht Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Sorry if I offended you misty, but you gave no referance to the computer you have, what you may want to use it for or your budget, or operating system. The fact is that, yes, you can use any printer with any computer as long as the printer comes with the driver for your OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikertec Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Don't forget to check the price of replacement ink before you buy any printer. Epson compatible cartridges are quite cheap if you do lots of printing like Bren does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistyraven Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 No offence taken. I have bought a usb flash thing, so I can use my daughters printer (after she as shown me how to use it) thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabbleRatcht Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 So you have a USB key. Just place your documents onto the key and take it to the computer with the printer. The computer will probably see it as a new piece of hardware and automatically install the drivers needed. Then it is seen in 'my computer' as a drive, just as when you put the pictures on with your machine. You can then print from the computer you have plugged the USB into as the computer already has the drivers to run the printer. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
