Hi Susan depends on your printer. If it's an inkjet, you can enable printer sharing on the host Mac (control panel on MacOS 9.x or oin System Preferences OSX) or if it's a PostScript printer or high end inkjet, they have built-in ethernet. In which they operate standalone and are accessible - irrespective of which PC or Mac is in use.
