How do I set up a shared printer connection between the two computers in my home?

I recently set up, using a router, a second computer on my internet connection. Now that I have full access to the internet with both computers there will be things I'll want to print out from the newer computer and it would be much more convenient if I could use the same printer for both computers rather than set up a second printer which I don't really have the room for on this desk anyway.How do I set up a shared printer connection between the two computers in my home?
As long as your two computers are communicating you can share the print driver. Go to the PC where the driver is installed. Control Panel/Printers %26amp; Faxes. Locate your printer and right click on it. You will see an option for sharing. Follow the on screen instructions and it will enable the second pc to be able to share the driver from the first PC. Just follow the on screen instructions. It is very easy.


Hope this answered your question.
