Hello I have in a room two computers well I also have an internet connectio on both of them well , and I have a one printer in my romm my friend in a room want to do so that one printer share and we can print documents from one printer (two computer share one printer. we ( two computers) have no network connections with each other , how can I do to share one printer??????
Thanks very much

To open the Printers and Faxes folder
•Click Start and then click Control Panel.
•Click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Printers and Faxes.
•In the Printers and Faxes folder, I clicked the printer's icon and, in the tasks pane, I clicked Share This Printer.
•I opened the printer's Properties dialog box, and clicked on the Sharing tab.
•I clicked Share Name, and then clicked OK.
That's it—the printer was immediately available for other computers to use.
Now that I had a network printer, I was ready to connect to it and print from other computers on the network.
To connect to the printer
•I opened Control Panel, and clicked Printers and Other Hardware.
•I clicked Add a Printer.
•Instead of adding a local printer, though, I clicked Printer Connection and then browsed the network for the printer.

"Instead of adding a local printer, though, I clicked Printer Connection and then browsed the network for the printer."
---But he/she said:

There apparently is a way to do it online:

If it is a parallel port printer and both computer have parallel ports
either an automatic printer share switch or a manual switch. I'm
not sure if there is a USB equivalent.
