Thanks to the concerted efforts of hardware manufacturers and software developers, the days when sharing printers over a network required patience, an intimate knowledge of operating systems, and the occasional voodoo incantation are largely over. Today’s operating systems simplify the task of sharing printers over a network to the point where, in many cases, users are able to plug a printer into one computer and almost immediately print from another.
