printer networking

[football]

I was wanting to know the options I have, to network a printer to more computers, besides having it show up in all of them? Is there a cable or something I could use, or hub?

You have a couple of options. Basically if you want to be able to print from it at any time the printer will always need to be on and connected to the network. That means you could connect it to a computer, and always leave that computer on. Or you can use a print server. Depending on the exact need you could use anything from a SOHO print server, or an old computer setup to run as a print server.
