Our family has only one printer which is a multi-function, and im having an inconvenience with printing as i have my own laptop. I have thought of just installing the drivers for the printer on my lappie and then be able to print but it would involve me having to always disconnect the usb from the desktop pc to my laptop.. this will be time consuming as i only just need to print every now and then. the next annoying thing is that the desktop puter is soo slow at starting up and then reading usb drives and then opening the document ready to print.
So my question is the printer has a usb port in the front.. could i load the document i want from the usb to the printer to print, i think it can be done and i have tried but the printer does not recognise the .doc files. so what files would i have to have the document as for it to read it directly off my usb, and whether it is possible?
I have tried to research this question on google and such, but i am getting nothing about my problem.
i have tried installing the drivers for the printer on my laptop but it has never worked, and using the family computer is extremely slow at doing the simplest things.
i need an urgent response because i have to print 70 odd pages for a year 12 physics lecture in the next few days, and when attempting to print on the home pc i made it crash so if i don't find another way i am screwed.
Thank you in advance.
