The simplest way to do that would be to physically connect the printer to one of the computers and share the printer so the other computers can print through that printer.\n\nAlternatively, if you don't want to connect any one computer to the printer, you can get a JetDirect print server. The 1200n comes with JetDirect already, though I don't think it is wireless. In any event, HP sells wireless JetDirect servers which would work with your printer.

Go to your local computer outlet store and get a USB splitter... You can't print from both computers at the same time though, unless the software is provided by printer manufactor.

You have a few choices.  \n1)You can share the printer from an existing computer that is directly attached to the printer(Right click on printer and choose sharing...\n2)If the printer has an ethernet port you can give it an IP and install the printer on any computer you want to print to it by...(creating IP port and use standard IP port)\n3)if your printer does not have an Ethernet port, you can purchase a print server (small device that you can connect to the printer that you will be able to assign an IP address-can be LPT or USB)\nEach of these will require that you have the printer near the wireless router, or connected to a networked computer on your home network\nThere are also wirelss print servers available, to make it all truly wireless.

The printer will have either a parallel port (a long thin connector) a USB port or a network port, or any combination of these 3.  These days, most printers can work on USB, so if the printer did not come with a USB cable, you can pick one up from any electronics store for relatively cheap.\n\nAfter you've physically connected the printer to your computer, you'll need drivers for it.  If it did not come with a CD, go online to the website for the brand of printer, and download their drivers.

I just did it for the first time last week.  Yeah like the above post said, go to the computer that the printer is installed on, go to start->printer and faxes.  Right-click on the printer you want to be shared and select sharing.  Follow the onscreen instructions.  Now the printer shared.\n\nNow for every computer on your network, go to control panel->printers.  Click add a printer.  Browse through your network to find the shared printer.  And that's it.  \n\nThe link provided below is more organized than my answer.

lift the hood and see if its there, if not try the documentation that came with the printer. if you don't have one , go to HP and click on support. there should be an on line manual that will show you.

You will need to identify your printer first, the model specification then go to the website for that brand manufacturer....then go to the drivers and download as guided thereafter from that particular site. For instance if you have a HP 5500 go to HP site then indicate the model and you will be guided to the drivers. In case your drivers are not available, which is very unlikely, you could also go to cnet.com

That would depend on what kind of connector(s) your printer has: if it has a parallel/Centronics connector, there are parallel switches which would do the trick.  If it has a network/Ethernet connection, a router or hub or switch (depending on your network setup) would be the easiest - if you have one of those three already, you would connect the printers network cable to the router or hub or switch and then should be able to set it up on both computers through Windows printer sharing.  If it has a USB connector, I'm not sure if you can share a printer through a USB hub, but there are USB-to-Ethernet adapters that might also work in conjunction with a router or hub or switch.

Use the cd software that came with the printer or...\nIf you have windows follow these instructions, first click the start button, look for the control pannel shortcut then click on it, find the printers and other hardware option, then click add a printer, it should bring you to a wizard, click Next, then change the options that may apply to you, it should then look for a printer, if it cannot locate the printer you will have to install it manually by clicking next, choose the port you want to use to locate your printer and then click next, after that click the brand of you printer, then select your version of your printer, click next and you should be done.\n(note: this will only work on windows and may vary if you do not use windows xp)
