This tutorial will show you how to setup a printer to be shared by multiple computers on your home network. In this tutorial I will be using Microsoft Windows XP, but process should be very similar for other versions of Microsoft Windows.

Note: This tutorial assumes that the printer is already installed on a pc attached to your home network.

Open the Printers and Faxes window by clicking Start > Printers and Faxes.

In the Printers and Faxes window, right click on your printer and go to properties.

Now click on the Sharing tab at the top. Select the option for “Share this printer” and give the printer a name in the “Share name” field. Hit the ok button to apply the changes and exit.
