2. Click on PRINTERS and OTHER HARDWARE
3. Click on PRINTERS and FAXES
4. You will then see the printer locally installed on your computer, point the mouse on this printer
5. Right Click the mouse
6. Click Properties
7. Click on Sharing Tab (on top)
8. Click on SHARE this Printer
9. Finally, name the printer

6. The ADD A PRINTER WIZARD will then pop out, just click next

8. You can either let the computer browse for a printer available in the network or you can choose the second option if you know the name of the printer available in the network.
