How to share a printer in your Network

by Kiven on April 20th, 2008

One of the necessary things to do when you first set up your network is to make sure that you have shared the printer.

Having several computers in your home or office doesn’t mean you have to buy several printers, too. If your PCs are connected via a wireless network (or a wired one, for that matter), you can easily share them by turning on Sharing in Windows. To get started, open the Printers and Faxes control panel in Windows XP (simply called Printers in Vista). Right-click on the printer you want to share, and choose Sharing.
