Default Networking a printer

If you remove the spaces between Printer 1 (eg make it Printer1 and
Printer2) you'll find it much easier.

Share out the Printer. Ensure both notebooks are in the same Workgroup.

Add a Network Printer to the notebook without it.... the drivers are at the
Canon website.

Howdy. I need some basic help for dummies here.
I have a desktop. It has 2 printers. A parallel port Epson and a USB Canon
Pixma IP4000.

Each printer has sharing enabled (Printer 1 and Printer 2)

I have 2 laptops. I have no problem printing to the Epson.

I now want to add the Canon. How do I do this? Also, I no longer have the
CD that came with the Canon. But I'm sure the driver is somewhere on my
desktop. I can't find it. I searched C drive (using *.drv) but nothing
looks correct. There must be a menu that shows the name/location of the
driver?

I am not sure how to proceed.
