There are several options. \n\n1.  Plug the printer into one of the 2 networked computers and turn on printer sharing.   This gets very difficult if you are using the security settings, which I recommend. \n\n2. Buy a Printer Server, which plugs into your router, and printer.    This will assign an IP address to your printer.   On each computer, you would then add an IP port to your printer setup.  \n\nNetgear makes a printer server and sells it through STAPLES and other retailers for under $80.  These can also be wireless, but this also would be more difficult to configure.  So I recommend that you get the Ethernet (wired) variety.\n\nSometimes it is easier to configure these by temporarilly wiring your computer to the router.  Once you get it working, then you can return to wireless.

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.

Easier than ALL the solutions proposed so far, buy yourself a *crossover ethernet* cable.  You can then connect the two computers via their ethernet ports.  Most computers these days have ethernet ports built in.\n\nThe crossover ethernet cable will allow you to have the two computers connected together into a 'hubless' network and they can share files, printers, ethernet connections, etc.  You just need to go into the Network Wizard and tell it you want to enable File and Print Sharing.  After that you can simply drag files into the shared folder on one computer and they will be visible to the other for copying.\n\nI'd give you all the nitty-gritty details, but instead of repeating things, I'm attaching a link to a very good article by Microsoft on setting up a home network.  The relevant section is under "Ethernet network - For two computers".\n\nAnd if you ever decide to upgrade to more computers, you can simply disconnect the two, add a router and a few more cables...\n\nNote: an Ethernet *crossover* cable is *not* the same thing as an Ethernet *patch* cable.  Be sure to tell the salesperson at your local electronics store that you want a *crossover* cable for connecting two PCs directly.\n\nI added another link to Radio Shack, in case you weren't sure what you should ask for.  You shouldn't pay any more than US$10 for a cable, perhaps even less.  Ask for Ethernet Cat5 or Cat5e, but be sure it is the *crossover* type, not the regular type.\n\nI see in your additional comments that you already have a network set up with a router and a wireless card.  If so, then you should already be set to go.  Just go to 'My Network Neighborhood' and look for the Shared Documents folder.  Put the file there, then copy to the other computer.

On the desktop that has the printer attached, go to Start>Printers and Faxes> then right click on the printer you want, select "sharing", then check the box that says "share this printer".

There are two solutions that you can choose from:\n\n1.  Port the printer to a desktop that is on your network and then share the printer.\n\n2.  Purchase a wireless print server... I've seen some available at Wal-Mart and Best Buy...

Let's assume you are on OS X 10.2.8 or later - I think that's what it takes...\n\nGo to Applications, open the Utilities folder.  Find and double click the Printer Setup Utility.\n\nClick the "Add" button  When the dialog box comes up, pick the first drop down box and pick "Windows Printing".\n\nSelect the PC with the attached printer.  Click Choose.  Select the Printer.  Click Choose.

First, how are you able to select the second printer? is it through an external a/b switch? if so, sorry cant do it.\n\nSecond, on the computer with both prints, open the control panel and then open the printers folder, on the printer that is not accessible on the other computer, right click and goto sharing and security, from their ensure the second printer is set to be shared. if it isnt, share it and then go to your remote computer and try to install it again. \n\nThird, put the second printer on the second computer.

You can connect the 2 pc's with a crossover cable and give them IP addresses like, 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.  The printer can be shared by right clicking on the printer and select "Sharing".  You also need to have "File and Print" sharing setup.  Check the link below.  It has step-by-step instructions.

I'd like to help you here, but I need a bit more information.  What exactly are you trying to do?  One computer to 2 printers or 2 computers to 1 printer?  What kind of error are you getting ?\n\nFeel free to e-mail me directly and I'll see what I can do for you.

It depends on what operating system you are using.  Assuming Windows XP or Windows 2000, the most common, here's what you need to do.\n\nLog on to the computer which acts as the network server for your wireless network.  This computer must have Administrator level access to the operating system.\n\n1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. \n2. Double-click Internet Options. On the Connections tab, select your connection, and then click Settings. \n3. Click Properties, click the Networking tab, and then enable or disable the appropriate features, i.e. make sure the Print and File sharing option is active.\n\nDuring the setup of the Print and Filesharing function, you will need to name your printer.  Make sure to note what name you use, because when you go back to your wireless laptop and try to connect to the printer, you will need to provide the laptop with the printer name.\n\nAfter you have activated Printer and Filesharing on the network server, go back to your wireless laptop.\n\nAgain, get to the networking tab in Internet Settings, and set up your printer. That's where you'll provide the laptop with the printer name.  It'll try to connect through the WAN, and you should be able to print.\n\nIf you have any trouble, refer to Windows Help files, and type "Printer and Filesharing" in the search window.  \n\nGood luck.

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!

You can use any printer that's connected to one of the network computers.  Though this PC will need to be on to print to it.  If you want to print to it wether or not the PC is on you will need a separate piece of hard ware.\n\nTo install a printer on your wireless laptop that connected to another PC:\n\nOpen Control panel.\nPrinters and other hardware\nPrinters and Faxes\nAdd a printer\nFrom the next window that pops up select next, then select network printer from the options then next.\nPut a tick in "browser for printer" then click next.\nDouble click on your network and keep clicking until you see your desktop computer appear.   Double click on the computer and you will see all the printers connected to that computer. Select the printer you want to share click next.\nA warning will now come up to basically telling you that it is now going to install the drivers for this printer on you laptop, click OK.\nIt will now install the printer drivers onto your laptop to enable you to use this printer on the laptop as a network printer.  If you have a different windows system on the laptop to what is on the desktop, you will need to install the appropriate drivers for that operating system.\n\nThat's it you will now have a network printer!
