How do I share a printer between 2 or more computers?
There are a couple ways to do this. Firstly, you can have the printer directly connected to PC #1, and for PC #2 to be able to print from it, both computers would need to be connected to each other (usually via an Ethernet switch). Then PC #1 would need to enable sharing of the printer so PC #2 would be able to use that printer. The second option is to have the printer hooked up to a print server. The print server will then control the access from all PCs on the network to that printer, thus eliminating the need to always have PC #1 turned on in order for PC #2 to be able to print. This method also shifts the resources usage away from the computers and onto the print server.
