How do I hook two computers to one printer?

0

If the two computers are on the same local network then you can connect the printer to one of them and then share the printer over the network. Look that up in the Windows Help, it’s not difficult. Another option is to get a small box called a “print server” and connect that to your network router, then connect the printer to that print server. However, those don’t necessarily work well with all printers, and it’s probably overkill for you. The advantage to this method is that you don’t have to have a computer (i.e. the one to which the printer is connected if using method 1) on all the time. I’m not aware of any other options.
