Printer Support in Microsoft Operating System

Printer support has been long enabled in Microsoft operating systems including the latest one. Whether you are at home or office, over the same network, the printer support has reached out to users. Earlier, a lot of problem was faced by the users when they wanted to access certain data which was stored on office PC.

Microsoft’s operating systems includes Windows 7 devices which can connect to a PC locally or wirelessly, join network and offers rich applications which makes user to use these applications in more flexible manner, hence enabling printer support. Home network can be easily created with Windows 7 and can connect your PC to a printer with HomeGroup allowing you to watch and record your favorite movie with Windows 7 Media Center.

You can associate a default printer to a network that means you have a default printer both at home and at the work place. If the user is at home and the computer is connected to home network, the printer support can be enabled. The user can automatically print the documents from the home printer and if the user is at work place and the computer is connected to the work network the default printer will automatically print from the office printer. The feature can detect the location and itself makes the transition from work to home to use the correct printer in each location.

Default printing changes itself in Windows 7 up upon the connected network in order to enable better printer support. It becomes aware of the location from where you are printing with Location aware printing feature. In the operating system, a multifunction printer will not show up as collection of three or four components but will show up as a single device in devices and Printers. If you want to share files between Windows 7 XP then it can be possible, provided you have a home network and the new Windows 7 running on your system and XP on the other.

These new feature in the printer support is included with the purpose of user experience and system enhancement.
