Many printers are local peripherals connected directly to a nearby personal computer. Network printers have built-in network interfaces can serve any user on the network. Individual printers are often designed to support both local and network connected users at the same time.

Multifunction printers (MFPs) include a scanner and can copy paper documents or send a fax; these are also called multi-function devices (MFD), or all-in-one (AIO) printers.
