How do I share my printer between my two PC computers?
My printer is physically hooked up to computer1 and both
computers have the printer software loaded and they have
been told to share the printer. I am using a hardwire
connection from my computer2 to the router.

I tried printing the test page and I get the message that
there is no connection.

It's not working. Any ideas anyone?

On the computer the printer is physically connected to, right-click the
printer in the Printers folder and select Sharing. Share the printer and
give it a name. Then go to the other computer (the one you want to use the
shared printer on), add a printer, and select the option to find a network
printer instead of a local printer.
