Once you have installed your printer on your computer you can network it and share it with other computers in the network. It is easy to do so. After installing it, open the Control Panel and then open ‘Printers and Other Hardware’. Open the Printers and Faxes folder and in the task pane there is an option to share that printer. Just check it. Now open the printer’s properties dialog and go to the Sharing tab. Give a Share Name for that printer and click OK. Once you do these steps, the printer that you have connected to your computer is now available for other computers in the network.
To use this printer from other computers, you have to open up the control panel in the other computer. Go to the Printers and Other Hardware folder and click ‘Add a Printer’. Click ‘Printer Connection’ and use the browse button to select the printer from the network which you have shared earlier. That’s it. It is easy to do this and start using a printer from other computers in the network.
