Okay, so today, I was trying to help set up a printer multiple computers could share over a network
Note: we are on a school wireless network, not a residential one.
To connect to the internet, both of the laptops use wireless and it is working fine. Today, we bought a printer which supports parallel/USB/CAT 5 connections to computer. I am merely trying to get the printer to be shared across two computers without a hub or router
First thing, i made sure printer and file sharing are enabled on both, then I installed Printer on one machine as a USB connection, thinking this machine would be my host. After that was done, I turned on sharing and put in the sharing name on it.
Now how can I make my second laptop to also use this printer without a hub or router, thanks!
