First, how are you able to select the second printer? is it through an external a/b switch? if so, sorry cant do it.\n\nSecond, on the computer with both prints, open the control panel and then open the printers folder, on the printer that is not accessible on the other computer, right click and goto sharing and security, from their ensure the second printer is set to be shared. if it isnt, share it and then go to your remote computer and try to install it again. \n\nThird, put the second printer on the second computer.

In your control panel there is an option to share printers, you can also do it by setting up a network, your fire wall should not affect this in any way, but you will need a floppy disk or a mem stick to set it up. Play around with it and follow the instructions, it may seem much harder than it is. The only way you can do it is try and learn.

******IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A DISK\n\n1) Connect the printer cable to the appropriate port on your computer according to the printer manufacturer's instructions. \n\n2) Plug the power cord of the printer into a wall outlet and turn the printer on. \n\n3) Open Printers and Faxes. \n\n4)Under Printer Tasks, click Add a printer to open the Add Printer Wizard, and then click Next. \n\n5)Click Local printer or stand-alone network printer, clear the Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer check box, and then click Next. \n\n6) Most computers use a parallel port (LPT1) to send information to a printer that's directly attached to the computer. So in the Use the following port list, click LPT1: (Recommended Printer Port), and then click Next. Some plotters, however, may connect to the computer through one of the serial (COM) ports. If that's the case for you, click one of the serial (COM) ports. \n\n7) Follow the directions that appear. \nWhen you are finished, the printer appears in Printers and Faxes. If you want to print a test page, first make sure your printer is turned on and ready to print.

Run the networking wizard on both PCs. Make sure you use the same workgroup name on both systems. When done, you will need to enable file and print sharing on the systems to share documents or files. You will now see a sharing option in files and folders when you right click on them. You for instance can share the whole C drive if you desire!

On the desktop that has the printer attached, go to Start>Printers and Faxes> then right click on the printer you want, select "sharing", then check the box that says "share this printer".

On my computer right click and go to properties , then computer name and make sure all computers are in the same workgroup. If they are then great if not just click change workgroup (make all of the computers the same workgroup name)...Then right click the file you wish to share and go to sharing and security and share the file or whole drive.One the computer with a printer goto start settings printers and right click your printer icon and share it on the network.  Do all this 1st then on the other comptuers with no printer go to start settings add a printer and select a network printer and install a network printer your other computers should find the shared printer and install the additional drivers you might need....Thanks

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.

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.

Yes you can.\n\nThe easiest way is probably to get a router with network printer capabilities.  This will enable you to hook the printer directly to the router, and access it from any computer on the network.\n\nIf you use a laser printer (like an HP), you can also get a network card for it.  Then you simply hook it to the router like any other computer, and again access it remotely.

If the printer upstairs is attached to another PC, then go to the Printers folder and make sure that you have 'SHARED' that printer, then you will probably have to install the printer drivers too, it will ask you if it is locally connected or on a network, choose network. the rest is plain sailing.\nOr you can walk upstairs and plug that printer into your usb port, AFTER installing the printer drivers.\nIf the upstairs printer is a networked printer - i.e. NOT attached to a PC, then on installing the printer driver it will again ask you if it is networked, and search for it.

Yes it is possible.  If you are using a windows network, the   configuration is almost identical to that of having 2 wired computers. \n\n1. Configure all computers on the network to have the same workgroup\n\n2. Enable file and printer sharing on both systems\n\nThe configuration all depends on which operating system you are running.

(All on the computer connected to the PC)\nFirst of all if you are using windows PC's you are going to need to work with the firewalls that are set up on your computer. Here are the steps to share your printer through windows XP.\nClick START - Click either Printers and Faxes (or if you have your toolbar setup in classic mode it would be under Settings - Printers and Faxes) - Then there should be an array of your printers. Right Click on the one you want to share and select "sharing..." and you can go from there. Keep in mind that if you can't connect you printer directly to the router you need to keep the computer with the printer connected to it on. Then go to a remote computer to check to see if your printer is up or not. On the remote computer get into Microsoft word or something then go to File - Print - Find Printer - Then you should see a network which you want to click on and click around in until you find the printer. Mine's under MSHome. If it doesn't show up you should go back to the computer to the printer hooked up to it you should shut all your firewalls off. If that doesn't work I don't know what to tell you. I would consult Kim Comando lol hope this helps and i need the points lol.

you have to share the printer on the computer it is attached to, and have either a network or workgroup defined.  this will vary by operating system, so search "printer sharing" in your computers' help documentation.  i recommend the workgroup solution, but i'm biased, as i'm using it personally, and found it very easy to setup.  in addition to the two comps with NICs and your printer, you'll also need a wireless router.  good luck!
