RE: how do you share a printer

This is how I share a printer on a the LAN

You can print from every PC on your network to one printer. To share a printer with the other PCs in your home you need to configure the PC to which the printer is connected and then install the shared printer on each PC that you want to print from.

If you have not already done so, set-up and install the printer onto a PC following the manufacturer's instructions.

The following instructions will vary slightly depending on which version of Windows you are using.

1. Turn on all of the PCs on your network and turn on the printer.

2. Start with the PC to which the printer is connected. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Printers.

3. In the Printers window, right click on the printer that you want to share on the network and choose "Sharing" from the menu.

4. If this is the first time anything has been set-up for sharing on this PC, you may receive a security warning. In the security message, click on "Just enable printer sharing" and then click "OK". Otherwise click on "Share this printer".

5. Enter a share name, something like "Laser printer in office".

6. Now click "OK".
