How do I hook up two computers to one usb printer?

  • Answer:

    If you are running windows based computers the simplest way is to install the printer on one computer and then share it on a network with another computer. This requires a direct pc to pc connection or a connection through a router. Then you simply set the default printer on the computer that does not have it installed to the shared printer in the printer folder.

Go to My computer and network and internet connections. Begin the "Network Setup Wizard" on both computers and just do what it tells you to do. You want to do File sharing. YOU MUST HAVE BOTH COMPUTERS ON THE SAME GROUP!!! The other day I accidentally connected to my neighbor's computer! lol
