I was wondering if there's a way to hook up printers to a network even though the router doesn't have a built in print server?

Just wondering?

pretty much all you need to do is install all the printers on 1 machine and
then share all them out. On all of the other machines that are going to
use these printers, start the "add a printer" wizard, select network
printer, and then find them on your network.

Essentially what you doing is allowing the pc the printers are installed on
to act as a print server. It's really this easy, i promise. :)

It is as easy and exactly as UNFLUX says. The only thing I can think to add is that you may need to install the drivers on your other machines.

*lol -- I think I was up to "teacher" and was working towards that "hacker" stuff when BWM thought it appropriate to promote me. I was slightly curious to see how far I could get, but this is fine with me. I like helping folks.
