The present invention comprises a unique method for mounting and supporting a printer used with personal computers. The invention, a Vertical Printer Stand, is comprised of a printer stand base, printer support brackets that support the printer in a vertical position, adhesive backed mounts that attach to the printer side walls, and straps that attach to the adhesive mounts and around the printer, securing the printer to the stand. The entire assembly is then typically mounted to the wall using standard wall mount fasteners, with the printer mounted parallel to the wall. The primary purpose of this invention is to remove the printer from the desk and free up valuable desk and office space. The paper may either feed from the floor, desk top, or from an optional paper feed tray.
