Digital BW, The Print

You need to purchase a fairly inexpensive piece of equipment.  Mine 
is a Trendnet TE100-P2U1P.  It's a box about 4x6 and 2" high.  You 
can connect 2 USB printers directly to the box and an Ethernet cable 
from the box to an Ethernet connection on the back of your 
computer.  You can then follow the setup instructions provided with 
the print server.  I'm really not an expert and had some assistance 
with the set-up.
