I have 2 computers at home both run XP I would like to have them work from one printer. The computers do have a wireless connection with a cable modem. Not sure how to get started.

Hello
To hook up Printer sharing just install the printer on the host computer go
to Printer and Faxes right click your printer, then go to Sharing, then set
it to Share then name it, click OK.
Go to the other computer open Printer & Faxes on the left of the page click
add a printer then follow the instructions
At the point to choose connect to this printer
\\host computer name\printer name

You will have to get some sort of hub to plug both computers into which will
then plug into your printer. A visit to your local Circuit City, Best Buy,
Comp USA or Staples store is in order.

Ok, I have done everything I needed to do, now the issue is, when it asks me what kind of printer I have, I look for it on the list and it's not there. i have an Epson Stylus CX3200, which works wonderful on this computer, not sure which one of the ones listed is compatable. I am also wondering could I just install the software on to the other computer and click on Have Disk? When I installed the software on here I needed to make sure that the software was installed before I even plugged the printer into the computer. Will I need to unplug my printer again? Not sure!

Hello
Are these computers networked and can communicate with each other.
You will only need to install the drivers on the host computer, unless you
are using a printer hub, if you are just using a wireless router with the
printer plugged into the Host computer.
Drivers from Epsom Website
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/...V_UseBVCookie=yes&oid=14082&infoType=Overview
Install the drivers on the host, go to Printers & Faxes, right click the
printer to share, click on Sharing then set it to share, then Name it
(printer, epson, or something to this effect) then close. (the host puter
will have to be on for the other puter to print)
Go to the other puter, Open Printers & Faxes, click on Add a Printer, choose
A network Printer or printer connected to another puter, choose Connect to
this Printer, the in the box you will type
\\name of host computer\name of printer
then press next and finish, but the 2 puters will have to be networked
first.
