Answer 5

No. You can plug it into a computer and if you leave that computer online 24/7, people on the network can print to it.

Answer 6

Yes, usually... (If it's HP, Epson, Canon it should work, most other will also, but not Kodak.) but you will need what is called a "Print server" to do so.  The USB from the printer will plug into the print server, and the print server will connect to your router via a CAT5 network cable.  Linksys makes some, as well as several other manufacturers.  Just make sure the print server has a USB port, some are parallel ports only.

If it's a Kodak printer, you can NOT use a print server, you're SOL... or get a different printer.
