Printer sharing is a very useful resource on your home or business network. You will be able to print from any computer if that printer is being shared in the network. If you have 3 computers all connected in the network, it is just logical to share it among the computers.

I will show you simple steps to do this. Here are the things you must do to have that local Printer Shared on the Network:

GO TO:

1. Control Panel >>
2. Click on PRINTERS and OTHER HARDWARE
3. Click on PRINTERS and FAXES
4. You will then see the printer locally installed on your computer, point the mouse on this printer
5. Right Click the mouse
6. Click Properties
7. Click on Sharing Tab (on top)
8. Click on SHARE this Printer
9. Finally, name the printer

Now, assuming this computer do not have a local printer and would like to print a document. You can print a document from a shared printer, here is how:

GO TO:

1. Control Panel
2. Click on PRINTERS and OTHER HARDWARE
3. Click on PRINTERS and FAXES
5. Click on ADD A PRINTER
6. The ADD A PRINTER WIZARD will then pop out, just click next
7. Click on A NETWORK PRINTER or A PRINTER ATTACHED TO ANOTHER COMPUTER
8. You can either let the computer browse for a printer available in the network or you can choose the second option if you know the name of the printer available in the network.
