how to share a printer in window 2000
Go to 'Control Panel' and find the Printers and Faxes option. Click on the printer you would like to share with other computers in your network.  In the 'Printer Tasks' menu, click 'Share This Printer' then proceed through the Sharing Tab options.  This will make the printer available to other computers within the network.  Next, you need to install the printer on your networked machine, which is easily accomplished by going to the Printers And Faxes menu and selecting 'Add Printer'.  The 'Add Printer' wizard should guide you through the various steps to installation, with the only potential sticking point coming from locating the driver – for this you must have the installation disc or download the driver directly.  Other than that, following the installation wizard through its logical process will be sufficient to install the printer on the networked computer and allow you to share a printer across your network.
