Hello everyone, can someone tell me how to set up a shared printer so
that my other PC's can also use it. I have done this before but cannot
for the life of me get it to work now. Many thanks in advance of any help.
 
1. Open XP's "Help and Support Center".
2. In the Search box type: SHARE PRINTER , and hit enter.
3. Next, click on the task titled "Share your printer".

Hi Carey
I should have stated I have the printer shared and all the right users
and groups set up with full permisssions, what I cannot seem to do is
connect to the printer from another PC on my LAN. I guess I need to set
the printer as the default on the other machine but how do I do this
please. Many thanks.
