Advice please-networking solution?
Hello,
My partner works in an office environment at a large university. In her department there are several pc s which are all networked to the university network server system which lives in a building some distance away. She has a printer directly connected to her pc via a usb connector. Unfortunately the department dont have a very integrated strategy for dealing with shared jobs and so if anything needs printing, one of the other staff will email it to her and then she prints it off becuase she has the printer!. Stoopid isnt it?. I guess what they really need is their own server which is connected to the wider network and all the office pc s are then connected to the office server. That way they could share documents and resources more readily?. That option probably isnt a starter though becuase of the expense and also it would require some setting up!.

So then the question is,given the existing environment,is it still possible to have a printer in that office environment which can be shared and used by all pc users in that office?.
