Printer Sharing:
If you have a home
network and would like to use the same
printer for all or some of the computers on your
network you can configure your printer settings
to do just that.
1. After you open the printers and faxes, you
will see a new window open that has all of your
printers in it. (You can also get to this screen
from the control panel then clicking on the
printers and faxes icon.
2. right click on the printer you would like to
share and click on properties.
3. In the properties go to the "sharing" tab and
press "share this printer" you should get an
alert asking if you really want to share your
printer, click yes.
4. Finish the wizard and you will be ready to
share your printer. One thing to note, in most
cases it is best to restart all the computers
that are connected to the network to ensure the
new printer is picked up by all of your network. |
