How to share a single printer on a network without using a Print Server

In today’s modern times, all offices is now using printer for creating a hard copy of a document. Every office can have multiple computers for every employee that needs them. But when it comes to printer, it seems strange that not every employee can have them. What wrong which this scenario? Well there nothing wrong with this scenario. Yes almost every employee in an office or institutions can have his/her own computer but no his/her own printer, the reason for this is because in every printer there is these item that needs to be replenish or change once it’s empty or if we do not change it then the printer becomes useless. This item is called the INK. Computer or PC do not have ink in order to work, it does not have a consumable part that needs to be replace every week or month to keep it working. But printer do, this item is the INK, and keeping a close watch on how every employee use these resources is very important.

Compute these is a small office has ten employees and every employee has its own computer and printer and printer ink cost has not really gone done despite having a huge demand for it. Every ten printer needs is own ink supply, the cost factors would certainly be off the roofed just for ink alone. So having one or two printer is much cost effective by having both printer shared on a network without using a print server. Please watch the video to get a better understanding of how to proceed with this procedure on sharing a printer or two on a small network.

Again these video has no voice over instructions, just watch and simply follow the procedure as seen for a simple sharing solution.

To summarize the video instructions, on the computer where the printer is installed open the printer and fax folder. Select the printer to be share if there are many printers installed, and then right on the printers to be shared and look for the sharing tab and click it. Then when inside the sharing tab choose the share this printer option then you can leave the default name or change it, this item is completely in your control. The last step would be to click the OK button to close the sharing tab.  Notice on the printer and fax folder under the printer that you have chosen to share a hand with an open palm has appeared, these only means that you have successfully shared the printer.

What is The Display type CRT to LCD to LED and to the Future.

Computer based technology from the processor, main board, memory, storage, interface and even power source and consumption is getting smaller in size but in turn they become faster still has become bigger in terms of capacity and also more importantly the power source has also become smaller but pack more power in them compared to their ancestors.

An example of this technology is all around us, the first to be created in smaller size is the processor. The processor is the brain of most electronic devices of today. Even circuit that is being used in almost embedded system has a processor in them for better management and control. Then the main board follows suit, or is that simultaneous with the processor. Small processor needs smaller main board, memory and power source. But wait before we moved any further, a key missing component of the computer is missing. This key component is the display.

I don’t know if it is intentional but the primary computer display for many years was the old reliable CRT Screen or the Cathode Ray-Tube. We have seen fast technological advances in almost all area of the computer. From the processor, memory, main board and even the power supply yet while all of this is going on, the computer display seems stock on the CRT as its primary display device. I still can clearly remember playing may old hand held game device called game and watch and it uses a black and white LCD display back then.

During those times the CRT is still in green test with black background and a newer black and white display is the new pad then, the colored display is still being developed. Then after a few years the colored came and a whole new world open, but still the technology used for most computer is still the CRT type. Whether it is just a VGA, SVGA, XGA and many others still the computer primary screen display is the CRT. Back then almost small electronic device has a small black and white LCD display, then why in the world the computer cannot have an LCD as a display monitor. It consumes less power considerably then the CRT technology and very easy to carry because it weights less and a small space is required to put it.

Even with the advent of the new millennium, the CRT is still the supreme display device for the computer. Not even with the coming of the first generation of wireless phone can change the main display device for the computer. Notice that the early cell phone was already small compare to its cousin. Also the cell phone technology was very much in high gear ever evolving continuously. Notice how the slow the evolution of the display has drag on for decades before the CRT was slowly replaced by the first generation LCD display.  By that time every electronic device that needs a screen has a small colored screen attached to them. Only when the development of the smart phone, came a faster technology development for the display. Suddenly the CRT was outdated and was being replaced by the LCD. Then from the LCD another technology would become the foundation for a new generation of display for all electronic devices this computer was not left out. Actually this technology is not new it’s been around for many decades now.

This technology is the LED or the Light Emitting Diode, the LED was refine, is became smaller and smaller until it become small enough that hundred of LED can be put in your palm.  With the characteristic of having even lower power consumption and durability than its predecessor. The LED has evolve a lot faster is now the choice of display for most electronic device like the present day generation of smart phone. We now have OLED (Organic-LED) based display meaning the LED has leap forward by becoming more green and sustainable. Other display technology has also evolve the Retina Display use in some high end phone this is just one of the display technology available today.

Now finally the computer has come a long way from the old big CRT to the thin LCD, LED, OLED and many others. The display has finally come with age as with all the other computer based technology that have been continuously evolving. The display technology has now become at par with the other development in computer based technologies.

SmartPhone or Computer that Do More than Just Make A Call.

How time passes by and so is the development of the technology involved in creating and developing the personal computer and other devices that is associated with it. One example of this is the mobile from it early bulky appearance and call function only, to personalization and fashion style and adding SMS and MMS then again to colour display, MP3 and movie player with powerful camera and an ever expanding Memory card. Now we have packed every imaginable application to the mobile phone and making it a smart mobile phone.

How smart is the smart phone today. First all latest smart phone from Apple I phone 4, Motorola Atrix and HTC to name a few have a single or dual processor in them to run every bit of the phone and all applications installed in it. The latest smart phone is powered by a dual processor, a 5 Mega Pixel and up main camera, the ever expanding memory of 16 Gigabytes or 32 Gigabytes and the latest Android OS version. Plus a host of all types of standard application from WIFI connectivity, GPS tracking system HD display where watching video has become more fun than ever before.

What is the important of having a dual core processor in smart phone; well it can run your favourite games pretty nice and start all those application on a faster mode. The phone can do things simultaneously or it can do multi tasking of all your favourite android base application at one time. More processor also the Smartphone can handle more complex application compare to the regular application let say a weight monitoring and tracking software. A more complex health application would be an application capable of monitoring one’s entire body status from blood pressure and the like to alerting the right Doctor to inform them of their patience condition in real time environment.

Bigger memory means lots and lots of music, picture and video can put into the phone without having to worry of getting it full. Also an application runs and reacts much faster. We can enjoy hours of homemade video via the latest smart phone because it provide a bigger storage area. Plus more new application is being created for the entire latest Smartphone model regardless of manufacturer. Adding to the basic and advance feature of each phone and creating a smarter phone compared to its predecessor.  With all the new and present application plus the always evolving hardware counterpart it has become harder to choose from a simple view of an ordinary user which would not have any clue on how to use all the available application present in the current generation of Smartphone.

All the picture taken and video recorded is also very clear because of the 5 mega pixel camera and watching the playback is also very clear and enjoyable because of the High Definition display for each latest smart phone.

With the current trends in the mobile phone industry, old and new player will continue to churn out more and smarter phone feature and adding or expanding current technology and also developing new technology for this smart phone making them smarter than today latest generation of smart phone. Indeed the computer technology has evolve so much that it created a revolution called the Smartphone which have influenced us very much on how we communicate and do our task every day.

What is a Sound Card?

A sound card basically is a system in which it sole function is to process sound and output them through the speaker. There are two types of sound card, the built in type and the expansion type card. But There is no difference in there function, the only difference is the characteristics of each type. Then what is a built-in sound. This type of sound processor is usually found embedded in the motherboard of main board of the computer. If you buy a motherboard and it indicate on the label by this sign SVL, the S stand for Sound while the V for video and the L stand for LAN or network card.

Most standard motherboard has a built sound card for standard listening of music and sound from a streaming video, internet chat and any other type of application. However every one has the option of getting a separate sound card with better sound processing hardware and software. A high end sound card usually cost more and is better able to handle and process better sound output. Another things is they have more output port in them for connections to a wider range if speakers. Also speaking of speaker all sound card needs to have matching speaker for one to have a more enjoyable music listening appreciation.

Beside speaker port a sound card also process input sound or a microphone can be connected to it, this port is called a line-in port or microphone port while a speaker port is usually called a line-out port. But to truly enjoy the experience of listening to music or it enhances the playing of games. A quality sound card and speaker should be use to have an enjoyable experience. Another function of the sound card is the recording of sound, whether it is a voice or music being saves in to the computer for editing and manipulation.

Together with a quality microphone and editing software, one creates his/her own distinct sound or records his own voice while singing with her favorite band or singer. A computer will work without a sound card or sound processing system but it has become an essential part of today’s latest multimedia components to enhance the overall appeal of a computer. Also the function of a computer has be upgraded with the addition of a sound card. The computer can now become your home video theater and home surround system. We did not need to purchase a separate sound system or video system. A high end computer with quality sound card and speakers can replace both video and sound system in our home, office, schools and many other places.
