XP System Setup Printer Sharing method

The office can't be equipped with a printer, which often requires more than one computer to share a printer, so how to connect the printer and each computer through the LAN? The following small series will be a detailed illustration of the method of printer sharing.

Connect the printer to a computer in your local area network, open the Control Panel, click Printers and Faxes, right-click the printer you want to share, and select Share, and the printer will display a flat palm on the printer when it is shared.

Other computers within the LAN are connected to the printer. To open the Control Panel, Printers and Faxes, click Add Printer on the right and follow the steps below to complete the connection.

① Adding a new printer

② Select a network printer or a printer that is connected to another computer

③ Select Browse Printer

④ Select the previously shared printer from the drop-down menu and click Next

⑤ set this printer as the default printer

With the above steps, other computers can also connect to a shared printer, and when printing, simply select the printer you just added in the printer name.
