Connecting printer to a network (1 Viewer)

[wrxsti]

Hey guys,

Ive got my printer connected to my computer, and the computer connected to a network. So for me to use the printer on my network (with my other pc or laptop), I need the computer connected to the printer turned on. Is there a way I can connect my printer to the router directly, I think I need to assign it a IP Address or something like that.

Does anyone know anything about this?
Cheers
