4) Give the steps to share a printer on your network

Share the printer connected to one of the computers by acable

This is the simplest method, but it implies, on the one hand, that the 'owner' computer of
the printer is functioning, and, on the other hand, that the different computers on the network can see each other
each other and especially see the computer belonging to the printer.
It consists of two steps: sharing the printer on the owner’s computer and the
declaration of this printer on the other computers on the network that will thus have the right to
use it.

On the PC that has the printer:

Right-click on the desired printer and then 'Share'

Check "share this printer" and enter a name (example: HP LaserJet) and OK.
On other computers:

Printer addition assistant opens, check "network printer or connected to a

another computer" then Next.

On the new window, to force recognition, check 'search for a

printer" then next.
 Select the printer that appears in the workgroup, next to the name of
the owner computer, Next, then Finish.

If the printer is not found by the automatic search, then you need to check
the other option 'Connect to this printer' and click Next. In the new window
which is displayed, either the available printers are visible, or you just need to browse
the hierarchy of your microcomputer to the desired printer. Select it, then
Next and respond Yes by default.
