| Printer and Print sharing - for Windows |
by: Ms. Pinky Mcbanon
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.
Need more help? and for your additional questions regarding printer sharing,
please ask me. Ask Ms. Pinky.
