Let's assume you are on OS X 10.2.8 or later - I think that's what it takes...\n\nGo to Applications, open the Utilities folder.  Find and double click the Printer Setup Utility.\n\nClick the "Add" button  When the dialog box comes up, pick the first drop down box and pick "Windows Printing".\n\nSelect the PC with the attached printer.  Click Choose.  Select the Printer.  Click Choose.

First you have to share the printer.\nGo to the printer control panel, right click the printer, and click sharing.  Check the box for enabling sharing, and name it something intuitive (HP or something like that)\nClick Ok to close it.\nMake a note of your computers name: right click My Computer and click properties.  On the name tab, get your PCs name.\nThen on another PC, click Start -> Run and type &#92;&#92;YourComputerName  and hit enter\nA list of shares on your PC will pop up.  Right click the printer icon, and click connect.  It will say something about needing to install a driver, click Yes.\nDo this on every PC.  You may need to go to the manufacturers site and install the drivers if you are using a different OS.  Like if the host is XP, p and 2k machines should connect just fine, win98 or me or 95 will probably need the driver installed.

You want to be able to use a printer connected to a desktop from your laptop?\n\nIf that is your question, on your desktop, go to printers and faxes -- depending on your version of Windows, it will either be on your start menu or on start menu -> control panel.  Select the printer you want to share, then go to properties and select share.  \n\nIf you have a really old version of Windows, say Windows 98, you will have to add file and print sharing to your network properties as well.

Remove all cables.\nPower down/SHUT OFF both your PC and Printer.\n\nRe-connect power cables. \nRe-connect printer cable to pc.\nMake sure all cables are plugged-in properly and are snugly-fit.\n\nTurn on Printer FIRST.\nThen Turn On PC.\n\nHope this works.\nGOOD LUCK!

it is possible to network both. You can even network both printers. Install the program from the router disk on your laptop and desktop. Then when that is finished, network the printer. Go to start, control panel, printers and faxes, then add a printer (from your laptop). Then select network printer (attached to your DESKTOP) then follow the instuctions. \n\nHopefully this will be HELPFUL!

The simplest way to do that would be to physically connect the printer to one of the computers and share the printer so the other computers can print through that printer.\n\nAlternatively, if you don't want to connect any one computer to the printer, you can get a JetDirect print server. The 1200n comes with JetDirect already, though I don't think it is wireless. In any event, HP sells wireless JetDirect servers which would work with your printer.

This can be done easily on an Apple Mac computer running OSX - do you have a Mac or a PC?

None!  Get a printer and seperate scanner.  The printer part is usually not up to par.  Communication can be ambigous (talking to printer or scanner) although not as bad with Mac.  And come on, it's not that hard to scan an image and print it out.  When one breaks, you replace the broken one.

its quit easy you can get the Print server UTP switch which one conected to you Lan Direct from there you can use any printer from any PC on your network but you have to instal the printers on all you pc so you can send the print from your own pc Print server is awalable in 4usb 2 com port

Another option: \nControl Pannel->(Printer and Other Hardware)-> View Installed Printer or...-> Select your printer-> Right Click It-> Click Sharing-> Enable Sharing (put a share name)\n\nNow go the remote comps. and then Print Setup and then Try Find Printer, then Figure it out.\n\n(Your comp. should already be in  sharing to share a printer. For Sharing: Control Pannel-> (Network and Internet connectons) -> Set up or change  your home office...-> Rest Figure it out)

you cant unless you have the following:\n\nfor printer you need a network interface, if the printer comes with a network option then get it, otherwise get a jetdirect box (jetdirect is a trademark of HP, there are others available)\n\nfor modem you need a modem router, wireless is available. this will act as a modem and network hub which you will also need for the printer.\n\nto set all this up this is what you do\n\n1) remove current modem and replace with router\n2) connect to router on desktop and setup up ISP account (username and password to get you connected to the internet)\n3) connect laptop to router (either wireless or wired) and join same workgroup as desktop\n4) connect printer to router (either JD box or network card) and assign an IP to it\n5) add the printer to both machines using the IP address allocated\n\nthere is no other way of sharing a printer even using the "Share printer" because without networking it, the desktop MUST be on for it to work, thats what its plugged into after all\n\nthats about it really

depends on your printer. If you want it accessible by both computers at all times then you will need a print server. Now you could hook up the printer to the desktop computer and share the printer, but you would have to have the desktop on when you want to print from the laptop. In my opinion (if the printer is not a network printer) then the print server option is the best choice.

It Depends...\n\n[Revision: I assume you have the printer allready installed cleanly one the on you are to share it from.\n\nIf you have a LAN network without a active directory server you can try the following. (Please note before any major change to a setting it is good practice to create a backup){Geared for XP.... More Detail in Question Equals more Garanteed Results}\n\n.:To Share:.\n{Make sure you are ina login with administrator privilages. (In home addition the main logon)}\n1. Click Start > Settings > Printers and Faxes > [The Effected Printers Name]\n2. The Print Queve should appear. Click Printer > Sharing\n3. Select "Share This Printer"\n4. Name the printers "Share name" in the approprite field.\n5. Click OK and exit out of all applications.\n6. Restart the Computer. (Required to start sharing)\n\n.:To Install:.\n{For adjoining computers on the network}\n1. Click Start > Settings > Printers and Faxes > Add Printer\n2. Click Next\n3. Select "A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer" then click Next\n4. Select "Connect to this printer (or to browse for this printer, select this option and click Next)" then, leaving all fields blank, click Next\n5. Browse through the Shared printers tree to find the name you selected earlier or type the following into the Printer field: \n//Yourcomputername/printername\n6. Click Next and follow the onscreen instructions. You may need the driver cd that came with the printer if it does not aquire the drivers automaticly.\n\nHope It Helps.\nI Wish You Good Luck.

If your printers are network ready, all you should have to do is assign an IP address to the printers. If not you can set them up on a host computer and then share them out. \n\nGood luck
