I have just started with a company and have only recently
had to use SBS.
We have a printer HP 4500 connected to the network via
CAT5 network cable directly into the wall jack and the
power cable plugs into the wall power socket. (There is no
parallel connection to the printer).

When i look on the win2k SBS this Printer is set up as a
local printer along with a shared FAX which is also setup
as a local printer in the same manner.

I now need to move this printer to a new room and new wall
jack.
Can i simply move the printer and connect it into the new
wall jack? Would this work?

If it won't what will i need to do to get it working?

Sorry it's proabably a very basic IT question but
networking is not my strong point.

You can move it to any network jack that is attached to the same
switch as your server.
