• Answer:

  If the computers are on a network together, you can plug the printer into one computer and setup printer sharing so both can use it, but the computer with the printer must remain on for the other computer(s) to access it. Each computer will need to be setup according to it's operating system in order to share the printer. Sharing a printer in a Windows environment 1 Prepare the computers to share the printer: >a Make all computers printing to the printer accessible through Network Neighborhood by enabling File and Print Sharing. See the Windows documentation for instructions on enabling File and Print Sharing. >b Install the printer software on all computers that will print to the printer. 2 Identify the printer: >a On the computer that is attached to the printer, do one of the following: --1 Click , or click Start and then click Run. --2 In the Start Search or Run box, type control printers. --3 Press Enter, or click OK. The printer folder opens. >b Right-click the name of your printer. >c Click Sharing or Printer Properties. >d From the Sharing tab, select Share this printer or Shared as, and then assign a distinctive name. >e Click OK. 3 Locate the printer from the remote computer: Note: The remote computer is the one that is not attached to the printer. >a Do one of the following: --1 Click , or click Start and then click Run. --2 In the Start Search or Run box, type control printers. --3 Press Enter, or click OK. The printer folder opens. >b Right-click the name of your printer. >c Click Properties or Printer properties. >d Click the Ports tab, and then click Add Port. >e Select Local Port, and then click New Port. >f Type the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) Port name, which consists of the server name and the distinctive printer name that was specified in step 2 on page 97. The name should be in the form \\server\printer. >g Click OK. >h Click Close on the Printer Ports dialog. >i Make sure the new port is selected on the Ports tab, and then click Apply. The new port is listed with the printer name. >j Click OK. Sharing a printer in a Macintosh environment 1 From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences. 2 From the menu bar, click Help  System Preferences Help. 3 In the Search field, type sharing the printer on a network, and then press return. 4 To let Windows computers on the network use any printer connected to your Macintosh computer, double-click Sharing your printers with Windows users. 5 Follow the instructions on the computer screen.
