how to connect one printer to two computers
To connect two separate computers to use the same printer, connect your printer to a selected “client” computer, as if it was to be used exclusively be that computer and install it. In doing this you will be ensuring that all drivers and software are fully functional. Now reconnect this to your “host” computer and, through the properties menu, select the shared option. In the network neighborhood or rather “My Network Places” the printer, as well as other shared resources, should appear as though it is a shared resource. This effectively means the printer is installed twice: once as a local printer on the client PC and as a network printer which both computers can use. Should you wish to print through the network every time then you should select this as your default option.
