Re: need help with network printer

Connect your printer to a network device  and connect your 25 computers to this network device.

Re: need help with network printer

A network printer is connected to a switch or a hub and all the computers to  a switch. This is the real connections and you can describe them with GLPI.

If you want that all the computers are connected to the printer, then you must to create 25 ports on the printer and connect them to the computers. But this method does not describe the real network topology.
