A Network Printer means any printer with a direct network connection such as Ethernet or AppleTalk. It is not a printer such as a HP LaserJet that is connected to a computer with a parallel or serial printer cable. A NAM connection is required for a printer to be shared on the network.
Family of printers introduced June 1996 shortly after IBM’s non-competition agreement with Lexmark ended. The family comprised several successive models of 24, 17, and 12 pages per minute black and white printers ( 4324, 4317, 4312) and one series of color printers ( 4303). All have since been withdrawn or replaced.
A printer available to various users on a network.
Printer connected to a network so that many computers can access it.
Theoretically, any device (printers, disk drives, scanners etc) attached to a computer on a network can be shared by any other computer on the network. In practice, such shared devices slow things down, as they are dependant on the speed of the individual machine to which they are attached. Some devices, especially printers, can have their own place on the network, so that no single client computer is responsible for channelling data to and from them.

A printer that any user on the network can access, through its own network card and connection to the network, through a connection to a standalone print server, or through a connection to a computer as a local printer, which is shared on the network.
A printer that is not directly connected to a single computer but can be used by several computers because it has a network interface of its own.
A printer available for use by workstations on a network. A network printer either has its own built-in network interface card, or it is connected to a printer on the network. Back to Top Page
A printer that has all necessary components to support multiple users on a network.
A printer with a network interface that provides printing services to network users.
A network printer is a printer connected to a local area network so that all computers on the network can print to it. A network printer may be connected to one computer that acts as a print server. Some higher end printers can be connected directly to the network itself. Source: TechSoup.org
