If the two printers are identical, you can enable printer pooling. this enables printing to two or more identical print devices through one logical printer (printer pooling). To set up a printer pool, select the Enable printer pooling check box in your printer properties, under ports, and then select the check boxes for all the ports you want.

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.

There are drivers that you can download from Open Source sites that will add more printer drivers to your Mac.  Also, try downloading Apple's Bonjour for Windows.  You may be able to use it to share the printer without any configuration.  I'll post the link.

For your printer, you need a "print server" which your printer will plug directly in to.  You may wish to use a router with your print server, for ease of use.  As far as the USB goes, Im not sure if that is possible, I know you can get USB hubs, but I doubt there is a way to share a USB device with a MAC and a PC, but I could be wrong about that.

you have to share the printer on the computer it is attached to, and have either a network or workgroup defined.  this will vary by operating system, so search "printer sharing" in your computers' help documentation.  i recommend the workgroup solution, but i'm biased, as i'm using it personally, and found it very easy to setup.  in addition to the two comps with NICs and your printer, you'll also need a wireless router.  good luck!

Printer sharing box OR network the computers and make the one connected to the printer share the connection over the net.\n\nEasier than it sounds.\n\nNetwork PCs if not already done\nOn PC with printer attached make printer sharable on net

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.

Assuming that the printer is connected to a desktop workstation, it needs to be shared before the laptop can use it. If you're running Microsoft operating systems, you'll also want both the desktop and the laptop in the same workgroup.\n\nAssuming you're using Windows XP...\n\nTo share the printer, right-click on the printer icon and select the "Sharing" tab. Click the "Share this printer" radio button and give the printer a share name. If you're running any Windows operating systems older than Windows 2000, keep the share name under 15 characters and don't use spaces.\n\nTo ensure both computers are in the same workgroup, open the Network Connections applet and select the "Advanced" menu. Select "Network Identification..." and click the "Change" button on the "Computer Name" tab of the System Properties window that opens up. Ensure the "Workgroup" radio button is selected in the "Member Of" box, then enter a workgroup name (15 characters or less). Click "OK" until all windows are closed and reboot the computer. Repeat the process on the other computer.\n\nOnce both computers are in the same workgroup and the printer is shared, you should be able to add a networked printer simply by using the "Add Printer..." wizard. Good luck!

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.

Go to the Brothers website and download the drivers for that printer.\nYou may also be able to download the book for it.

******IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A DISK\n\n1) Connect the printer cable to the appropriate port on your computer according to the printer manufacturer's instructions. \n\n2) Plug the power cord of the printer into a wall outlet and turn the printer on. \n\n3) Open Printers and Faxes. \n\n4)Under Printer Tasks, click Add a printer to open the Add Printer Wizard, and then click Next. \n\n5)Click Local printer or stand-alone network printer, clear the Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer check box, and then click Next. \n\n6) Most computers use a parallel port (LPT1) to send information to a printer that's directly attached to the computer. So in the Use the following port list, click LPT1: (Recommended Printer Port), and then click Next. Some plotters, however, may connect to the computer through one of the serial (COM) ports. If that's the case for you, click one of the serial (COM) ports. \n\n7) Follow the directions that appear. \nWhen you are finished, the printer appears in Printers and Faxes. If you want to print a test page, first make sure your printer is turned on and ready to print.

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)

Same as anywhere else.  Install a printer, share it.

The only way is to get something called a usb device server.\nThis enables the usb device (like a printer or any usb device) to be shared over a network.\nI know www.microcenter.com carries a few.

By set I presume you mean install the software. That depends on the speed of your machine, the printer software, etc.\n\nGenerally, it should not take more than a few minutes.\nEven assembling and connecting to the computer is relatively easy. \n\nI also presume you are talking about a stand alone PC and a stand alone printer, no networking.\n\nIn the case of networking, it depends on the number of machines that are going to use the printer and the way they have been programmed.\nst
