Network Printer

Explanation:

A network printer is a type of printer that is accessible by network connections, making it available for use by other computers connected to that network. The network can either come from the printer or from a local computer provided to create network for the printer. Most of them contains a network interface card that allow them connect directly to a local network from which computers can then access them. This is different from a local printer that is directly connect to the computer via USB cable.

Network printer is very advantageous in that multiple network computers can access the printer at thesame time.
