5.4.4.Windows 2000: Sharing a printer
It is possible to put a printer on the network and share it with all computers in the house equipped with a WiFi
adapter.
To access a printer on the network, the printer must be set up for sharing on the computer where it is
connected and installed.
On the computer connected to the printer:
1. Click Start/Settings/Printers.
2. Right-click the printer and select Sharing….
3. In the Sharing tab, select the Shared as: radio button and
enter a name for your printer.
Give the printer a name that is unique and sufficiently
distinctive, making it easy to recognize (my-printer or home
laser printer, for example). If one of your computers is running
Windows 98 SE, we recommend that the sharing name not
exceed 12 characters (without spaces) in order to ensure its
compatibility with this operating system.
4. Click Apply, then OK.
On the computers that will use the shared printer:
1. Click Start/Settings/Printers. Double-click the Add
Printer icon.
2. The Add Printer Wizard is launched. Click Next.
3. Select the Network printer option, then click Next.
4. Click Next to locate the shared printer.
5. In the list displayed, double-click the computer connected
to the printer.
6. Select the shared printer, then click Next.
