To share the printer, open the Printers and Faxes folder on the computer that is connected to the printer.

To open the Printers and Faxes folder

•    Click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Printers and Faxes.
•    In the Printers and Faxes folder, click the printer’s icon and, in the tasks pane, click Share This Printer.
•    Open the printer’s Properties dialog box by right clicking on the icon, and click on the Sharing tab.
•    Click on Share Name, and then click OK.

Now the printer should be ready to use.

Now that your printer is connected to the network, you are ready to connect to it and print from other computers in
your wireless network.

To connect an additional computer to the network printer, follow these steps:
•    Open the Control Panel, and click Printers and Other Hardware.
•    Click on Add a Printer.
•    Instead of adding a local printer, click Printer Connection and then browse the network for the printer.

You should now be able to print from the network printer.
