If this is a home network...\n\nThe ISP will be difficult to set up without buying more hardware. If your ISP is broadband.\n\n1) Buy an internet router. Connect the ISP to the router's internet port. Connect the switch to the router. Connect all the PC's to the switch.\n\n2) Buy another NIC, put it in one of the PC's so one has two nics. Connect all PC's to the switch, connect the ISP to the second NIC and use Internet Connection Sharing to share the internet connection to the other PC's.\n\nIf your ISP is dial-up, then just connect all the PC's to the switch. Share the internet connection on the dial-up PC using Internet Connection Sharing.\n\nIf the printer is a network printer, just connect it to the Switch.  If its not, then connect it to one of the PC's and share the printer connection.

You need a USB Print server, such as one of these: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=371\n\nThe device connects to the USB cable from your printer.  You assign it network properties (IP address, gateway, etc.) and, voila, you have a network printer.

I am not sure if these are what you need let me know 0:-)\nMake sure the printer is recognised by the base station. \nSelect 'Add a new printer' in Windows \nSelect 'Local Printer' in the dialog box (auto detect and install should be off), click next. \nChoose 'Create a new port' and "Standard TCP/IP Port'. Click next. \nFor the printer IP address, enter the address of the base station ie. 10.0.1.1. The port name will be filled automatically. Click next. \nFor the device type, choose 'epson stylus color760' , then click Finish. \nChoose your printer from the list and follow the rest of the prompts to install and configure the driver.

It Depends...\n\n[Revision: I assume you have the printer allready installed cleanly one the on you are to share it from.\n\nIf you have a LAN network without a active directory server you can try the following. (Please note before any major change to a setting it is good practice to create a backup){Geared for XP.... More Detail in Question Equals more Garanteed Results}\n\n.:To Share:.\n{Make sure you are ina login with administrator privilages. (In home addition the main logon)}\n1. Click Start > Settings > Printers and Faxes > [The Effected Printers Name]\n2. The Print Queve should appear. Click Printer > Sharing\n3. Select "Share This Printer"\n4. Name the printers "Share name" in the approprite field.\n5. Click OK and exit out of all applications.\n6. Restart the Computer. (Required to start sharing)\n\n.:To Install:.\n{For adjoining computers on the network}\n1. Click Start > Settings > Printers and Faxes > Add Printer\n2. Click Next\n3. Select "A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer" then click Next\n4. Select "Connect to this printer (or to browse for this printer, select this option and click Next)" then, leaving all fields blank, click Next\n5. Browse through the Shared printers tree to find the name you selected earlier or type the following into the Printer field: \n//Yourcomputername/printername\n6. Click Next and follow the onscreen instructions. You may need the driver cd that came with the printer if it does not aquire the drivers automaticly.\n\nHope It Helps.\nI Wish You Good Luck.

You need to get yourself a wireless print server.  This will give you the ability to set an IP address for your printer wireless just like your laptop does.

There are to methods... network printing and IP Printing.\n\nNetwork printing... hook up a printer to you router and follow the instructions that came with the router.\n\nIP printing... hook up a printer to a computer and install the drivers. go to Control Panel and click Printers and Faxes. Then right click on the printer that you want to be shared. And click Properties. then click the Sharing tab. say that you understand the risk. and enable the sharing. DO NOT USE THE WIZARD. IT SUCKS. once you are done setting up a shared printer on a computer find the IP address of that computer and remember it. go to another computer and open up the Printers and Faxes folder in the Control Panel. click Add a Printer and select Printer is a Network Printer and is Attached to Another Computer and click Next. now select the option to connect to a Printer Over the Internet. In the space provided, type in the IP address you wrote down. Then click Next. Install the drivers and your set! MAKE SURE BOTH COMPUTERS ARE ON DURING THESE PROCEDURES. YOU MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET. --> also... you can use this option for multiple computers by repeating the 2nd part of the procedure on the unchastized computer

Go to Start--->settings---->printers, click on add a printer....hit next...click local printer...(uncheck auto detect)....check off Create a new port.....In the pull-down select Standard TCP/IP Port...hit next....Enter the IP address of the printer on both lines...hit next. \n\nSelect the correct driver for the specific printer you're going to ...or if it's a laser you probably can use HP4plus driver.

Use the same WORKGROUP on both computers.\n\nRightclick My Computer -> properties -> computer name -> change your WORKGROUP\n\nIf you still cannot see.. assign static IP address to the computer you want to share... then add new printer - network printer -> &#92;&#92;10.1.1.99 etc..

Not sure about your particular printer or even if it is possible over lan. however - To find the IP of the printer simply go to the ip of your config of your router and you will be able to find the ip address. Concerening using ftp to connect. Erm is this really what it is. I spose it could be but its a bit odd. read the manual on the limitations of conecting over lan.

Is the printer connected directly to a router? If it is connected to a server or computer you have to have the computer connected to the printer on. Well the computer with the printer is on go to a different computer. Control Panel>Printers and Faxes>Add a Printer>A Network Printer Connected to another Computer>Next>Browse for a Printer>Next. A list of printers should come up.Click on the printer you want to add.Click next it will ask you to install a driver.Click yes.Click next and you're done.If the printer is connected to a router make sure the driver is installed.Also make sure the printer is shared and the other computers except printer sharing.To check printer sharing click.Control Panel>Windows Firewall>Exceptions.Check the box Printer and file sharing.Make sure the firewall allows exceptions.

What the previous user said is only partially correct.\n\nIn order to view the shared printer, connect to the other computer that is doing the sharing.\n\nFirst, find out your other computer's "computer name" (the one sharing the printer). You can find this by right clicking My Computer and left clicking Properties. In XP, go to the tab labeled "Computer Name". Half way down it should have a "Computer Name" and then a name next to it. Copy that down. Go back to your laptop, make sure you'll connected to your network wirelessly, and then go to Start -> Run. In the text box type in this, "&#92;&#92;computer-name" where "computer-name" is your other computer's name. You should then have a window pop up that shows "Shared Docs" and hopefully your printer (or it'll say printers and faxes). Right click the printer and click "connect". It should install it for you.

Yes you can.\n\nThe easiest way is probably to get a router with network printer capabilities.  This will enable you to hook the printer directly to the router, and access it from any computer on the network.\n\nIf you use a laser printer (like an HP), you can also get a network card for it.  Then you simply hook it to the router like any other computer, and again access it remotely.

No need, I assume you are using windows xp, simply share your printer and publish it to the network, install the printer drivers on your brothers computer and have him install your printer on his as a network printer.\nMuch easier than it sounds, go to windows help - printer sharing.

If the printer upstairs is attached to another PC, then go to the Printers folder and make sure that you have 'SHARED' that printer, then you will probably have to install the printer drivers too, it will ask you if it is locally connected or on a network, choose network. the rest is plain sailing.\nOr you can walk upstairs and plug that printer into your usb port, AFTER installing the printer drivers.\nIf the upstairs printer is a networked printer - i.e. NOT attached to a PC, then on installing the printer driver it will again ask you if it is networked, and search for it.

The only way I can think of is following:\n\n- Share your USB Printer \n- Use the network resource and attach it to a LPTx port ( u can do this with "NET USE LPTx &#92;&#92;your_pc_name&#92;USBP" where LPTx is the port u want to use (ie Lpt1) \n- Happy printing....
