Printer sharing is in the LAN (cat-computer-printer), connect the printer with one computer, and then share permissions, let other computers access this server computer, and control printing through the server computer, so if you want other computers to print, you must always turn on this server computer.

1. First of all, set the computer that has been connected to the printer to "Printer Sharing", click "Start" "Printer and Fax", click on the printer's properties, and you can see such a window.

2. Select the second button "Share", select "Share this printer", here, you can see the share name, such as "hplaserj", and record it. Thank you very much for your patience** and have a great day if it helps! Thank you!

Printers are used more and more frequently in our work and life, and the office is almost inseparable from printers, but not every computer has a printer, and in fact, it does not need to be equipped with every computer. This article takes the win10 system as an example to introduce how to share printers.

Printer sharing is the operation of allowing multiple computers to use the same printer in a local area network. First of all, you need to have a computer connected to the printer, and then share the rights of the computer, so that other computers can print through the computer, so when the computer that is sharing the permission wants to print, the computer that shares the permission should always be turned on.

When using the win10 system, first search for "settings" in the lower left corner of the computer, after entering the settings interface, click "device", you can see that there are many options on the left side of the settings interface, what we need is to set up a shared printer, so select the "printer and scanner" option on the right, and the existing printers and scanners will appear on the right.

Next, you need to set up the printer, click on the printer you are now connected to on your computer, select "Manage", after switching pages, select "Printer Properties" on the left side of the window, then a new window will pop up, and you can clearly see an option "Share" in the new window. On the shared page, put a checkmark in front of "Share this printer", and finally click "OK" to finish. Other computers can access the shared printer over the network.

If the printer is not used for a long time, you need to unplug the power supply and cover it with a cloth to prevent dust from entering, and the printer should use professional printing paper, do not use damaged printing paper, in order to prevent damage to the machine.
