Thanks for the reply

I am interested in printer only. As I stated in my email: The HP printer 
is wifi connected to my local network and is accessible by all of the 
computers on the network. *This includes the host system*. Right now the 
shared folder is probably more important because I can then switch 
systems and print a file from the host system.
