Thanks for all the replies. I now understand tghe differences between the "USB printers" and my "network printer". Didn't occur to me that it could allready have the print server built in and the simplicity of the USB printers.
I looked at the box of my network printer (I recently got a new of those "hire through work computer deals and I just checked a printer in a decent price range) and it indeed says "printer for your office network, showing some symbols for networking and so on. So it seems indeed it should be a fully functional network printer with all needed according to your replies above. It is some HP ink colour printer, don't recall the number. I will keep the HP black and white laser printer directly connected to the static computer and we will see what to do with the final third printer, it is a multifunction scanner, printer with great photoprinting abilities, printing all the way out to the margin and so on on. Probably place it for connection to either of the computers through wire somewere in the office. All printers have their uses at times I guess so we will keep all. As for finding place to put them...... oh well.
Thanks everyone for the isight on networking and printers.

There are three types of people in the world. Those who can count and those who can't.
