PRINTER AND FILE SHARING PLEASE HELP !!!!! ON SET UP I HAVE THREE COMPUTERS

[lilcrazy]

Ok let me explane the problem I am having.And if anyone could help i
would be so grateful.I set up a printer on my computer.Well i also
have another desktop and a laptop.Well i wanted to share the printer
with the other computers. So i set it up for a small home network. I
did the wizard on all the computers and turned on file sharing and
share this printer on all computers. And it worked. Well here is where
the problem comes in.I dont know what i did but now i can only print
on the computer it is hooked up to. On the other computers it says
access denied need to check with adminastrator. If i competley
unstalled my network on all computers should the printer sharing
work.Like i said it was working great then i went in under the other
admin. and i dont no what i did but it will not work denied it says on
the other computers. i dont no what i could have done. I think i didnt
read it correctly on the other desktop and made it the main computer.
And thats not how it is supposed to be. I am not computer stupid at
all. But i have tryied everything. I dont no if it has something to do
with passwords or what.SOME ONE PLEASE HELP!!! I have worked hours and
hours on it and cant get it going .Just on the comp. the printer is
hooked up to.THANK YOU LIL CRAZY

Hi lilcrazy,

Make life easier on yourself. http://www.networkmagic.com/

Network Magic will help you do exactly what you want to accomplish.

Just remember that the computer must be on that the printer is plugged
into all the time, unless you have a printer that can be plugged into a
Router like Brother All-in-Machines or Brother Multi-functional machines can
be. These machines since being plugged into the Router are already shared
and no other sharing is necessary, however you need to install the software
on all computers.
