    Networking two computers and one printer

    Hi folks,

    My friend just bought a new computer with windows 7 and has his old computer with Windows XP. He would like to network his printer via his internet router. Both computers are hard wired to the router, since the new computer doesn't have a wireless card. Can we easily network both computers so he can use the printer?

    Thanks,

    jorge

    Smile Networking two computers and one printer

    Train,

    Thank you very much for your prompt response. The HowToGeek webpage was extremely helpful. My friend can print now from his two different computers.

    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    You are Welcome.

    He might want to print those instructions out for future use though.

    Train, I just copied this link, too. Thanks. Maybe this should be a part of "Best of..."

    You are Welcome.

    I google Sharing Files In Windows 7 and XP to find it.
