network printer: A shared printer is one locally attached to a computer, and other remote machines can use it by going through that server machine. A network printer attaches directly to the LAN. It acts like a small computer/printer combination. The configuration of a network printer is more complicated since it has no keyboard and screen, and does not run under Windows and thus must be configured remotely.
