Wireless Share Folders and Printer

What is your method to share 3 or more PCs that are connected to a wireless
router? Share the folders. 1 PC has a printer connected to it. How did
you share a printer with the other 2 PCs connected to the wireless router?

At this time, I cannot buy a wireless USB print server.

Thanks for your time Sir.
 
Hi,

On the system with the printer attached, go to the printers folder and right
click the icon for the printer, choose properties. On the sharing tab,
enable it and give it a name. Apply/ok your way back out. The share name you
gave it should be visible to the other systems provided that you are running
SP2 (or SP1 w/o the firewall enabled), and they are all the same workgroup
name. Use the add printer wizard on the other systems and indicate that you
want a networked printer to add the shared printer.
