No they do not have the same meaning. Get a dictionary and use it to translate into your own language the words : working, typing and writing and you will have your answer.

a) She is working on the computer.

b) She is typing on the computer.

c) She is writing on the computer.

a) Esta trabajando en el ordinador/computadora

b)Esta escribiendo a máquina con el ordinador/computadora

c)Esta escribiendo en el ordinador

Type is only used on computers or typewriters, write includes handwriting, working is just trabajando.

Anonymous,

But I've heard that 'work on' and 'type on' a computer are both possible.

I mean if you have a picture of a person working on a computer you can say both, can't you? My doubt is if for the same purpose, I can use 'write on'.

So, is it correct to say, 'She is typing the titles of the new books on the computer'?
