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..

Using windows XP, buy a router, hook all the computer up to it, setup the network and get everything running, and then attach the printer to one computer and share that printer on the network, easy as pie!

First, I am assuming the printer has either USB or parallel interfaces. \n\n1. You need to install its driver into one of your computer.\n2. After installation, on that computer, share the printer\n3. Go to the other computer, look up the shared printer and added that as remote printer\n4. You should be able to print from both computers\n\nP.S. If your printer is USB interface, get a printer server (see below link)

try searching for some network printer devices, either you can get a network attatched printer server box whch converts a network rj45 to a usb or paralell, or a direct network printer. my office has one.

• Click Start and then click Control Panel. \n \n• Click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Printers and Faxes. \n \n• In the Printers and Faxes folder, I clicked the printer's icon and, in the tasks pane, I clicked Share This Printer. \n \n• I opened the printer's Properties dialog box, and clicked on the Sharing tab. \n \n• I clicked Share Name, and then clicked OK. \n \n\nThat's it—the printer was immediately available for other computers to use.\n\nNow that I had a network printer, I was ready to connect to it and print from other computers on the network.\n\nTo connect to the printer\n\n• I opened Control Panel, and clicked Printers and Other Hardware. \n \n• I clicked Add a Printer. \n \n• Instead of adding a local printer, though, I clicked Printer Connection and then browsed the network for the printer. \n \n\nThe whole process took less than a minute before I was printing to the network printer as though it was connected to the computer

You'll need to set up some kind of network. You can use a crossover cable, or a router. But that's a whole different thing. \n\nOnce you've done that have the printer connected to your mac, and go into the system prefs - print & fax, and in the sharing tab and turn sharing on for that printer. Your pc should now be able to print to that computer across the network. I don't know how to do it so the printer is connected to the pc, something much more complicated probably.

It may be that the printer is not compatible with your new computer. \nIt is best to buy a new complete XP computer system.. Including Printer, keyboard, monitor, external drives etc.. Do not add any old hardware to XP.... Windows XP does like OLD hardware and nor does it like some of the older software.  And you may ruin your computer.  This has happened to me before, so i learned the hard way. \nE

You might try visiting the website for the manufacturer of your printer, download the driver for your particular printer, and install it.

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!

This printer&#92;driver is not available on the US/UK web site.\nThis seems to have been offered in europe.

That particular printer connects to the computer by way of a parallell cable. The parallell port on the back of your computer is shaped like the monitor port, but it is longer. Go to Start > Control Panel > Printers. Double-click Add New Printer, or select it from the list on the left side of the screen (in Windows XP). This will start the Add New Printer Wizard. If your printer is not listed (it should be listed if you have Windows XP), or if you have the installation CD for the printer, click Have Disk and install that driver and software.\n\nWhen the installation wizard tells you to, connect the printer to the computer. Then, finish the installation, and you should be ready to print.

The printer is almost certainly compatible with your computer, assuming you have a parallel and/or USB port to which it will connect.  You may also need the printer's driver software in case your version of Windows doesn't automatically set it up.  Here's a link to Lexmark's driver download page for the printer you mentioned:

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.

It's looking for a Parallel port (also known as LPT-1) This printer can connect through a 36-pin Centronics cable (parallel printer cable) or an A to B (standard) USB cable. Be sure you have the correct type of cable for the printer and that the printer driver is installed and selected as the default active printer..\n\nDell has recently remove the old LPT-1 ports from a lot of their PCs in favor of USB, and if you have a USB cable and the driver disk, set up should be relatively easy, be sure to use the printer's driver install disk...don't confuse COM-1 or COM-2...those are a different typr of communications port, rarely used for printers anymore since USB became popular.

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.
