Aftey reading this of you have any questions let me know.
Give your answer to this question below!
Go on the main computer where the printer is physically connected and right-click. Select SHARING and give it a name so you can remember it.
On the other computer, go in the printer & faxes and select ADD a printer. Select NETWORK printer and NOT local printer. Click OK and a menu will open up. You should see the printer in the SELECT menu and you should see the name of your printer that you have given a name.
Click it and let the 2 computers communicate and if all is done correctly, the printer will find the other printer. Or you can install the software on the other computer and SELECT ‘network printer’.
