How do I share a printer in Mac?

How do I network a mac and a pc so they can share a printer and a external hard drive using usb connections?

  • Answer:

    For your printer, you need a "print server" which your printer will plug directly in to. You may wish to use a router with your print server, for ease of use. As far as the USB goes, Im not sure if that is possible, I know you can get USB hubs, but I doubt there is a way to share a USB device with a MAC and a PC, but I could be wrong about that.
