Question by Amy4: Is there anyway to hook up a non-portable printer in a room separate from my computer?
I have very little space for my computer and I own two different printers, both which I use regularly. So I am trying to find out how I might be able to hook up my second printer in a different room and still have it be connected somehow to my computer. Is this even an option?? Any ideas?? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you need to network them. You need a router (if you don’t have one already), and the cable (CAT6 patch cable) to connect them. If the printer doesn’t have a network card (also called a NIC card), you need that as well. If you don’t want to run a cable, get a wireless router and and a wireless network card for your printer. You may want some help from a professional with this. Since you are asking whether it is even an option, I don’t think you can do it yourself.
