Sharing a local printer
Hi,
I have two pc's connected as peers using a HUB, and they are both running Windows XP Home. One pc has a local printer that I want to share. Can be done without having to network the printer? If so how? Thanks. Dennis

Sharing a local printer
Provided both PCs can 'see' each other and have access to each other's
files/folders.... On the PC with the printer attached, go to the Control Panel and doubleclick on Printers and Faxes. Right click on the printer in question and select Properties. Ensure you set it for sharing and that the shared name is no longer than 12 characters/numbers with no spaces in the name and no illegal characters, including but not limited to *, _ and -. Click on OK. Go to the other PC, simply choose Add a Network Printer on the Add Printer Wizard, browse over to the PC with the printer and it should appear.
