Home PC with wireless router... a laptop and anyone that comes over to my house with their printer...

1. Does every computer/laptop have to have "MY" printer software installed in order to print??

2. I use / bought Network Magic.. (although I'm not too confident with the word "magic") hmmmm...



Thanks!

Yes


Don't understand what you are asking.

Even if you are accessing a printer through a network hub or one that is connected through another computer, you still need to have the printer drivers installed on the computer sending the 'Print' command.

any shared printer is a print server and when the printer is captured by another work station the drivers are downloaded from the shared printer. I think there is some where in the shared printer for what OS to support. when you clich share click additional drivers, check the boxes for the OS's that will be capturing your printer
