Question

Can I connect to an HP printer if my printer is not on the same network as my computer?

Kitty Jewel

Community Answer

No, that is impossible. You would have to connect either the printer to the same network as your computer, or you would have to connect your computer to the same network as your printer.

Question

How can I add an iPad using a SIM card?

Community Answer

iPads still have the capability of connecting to your home network as well as cell network. Go to settings, Wi-fi, and then connect to your network. More than likely, you will have to go to the app store and download an app that allows you to print to the printer you have.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) -- it's a device that allows a computer to keep running for at least a short time when the primary power source is lost. It also provides protection from power surges.
