I'm trying to make my printer useable on my network. I have a router that both pc's are hooked up to and sharing the internet. Both machines are running xp pro. Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks

browse to pc A

right click on the printer & select connect.

(the only problem is that pc A needs to be on for you to print with pc

I had a problem installing the drivers, thats why I'm using this pc. There both running xp so the drivers on this pc should work for the other one, right? My question is do I still need to install the drivers on the other pc? Thanks

If your running xp n your going to share it will ask you if you want to install additional drivers that means if your other comp is anything but xp install the drivers for that Os that the other comp is using on your pc
