Networking two laptops and a printer

You need a hup or switch box since laptop supports only RJ-45 cable. A printer, you can attach to one of your laptop and share it with the other laptop.

Good Luck,

It all depends on the situation. Lets look at a couple of examples:
1. Conditions: Both laptops are stationary.
Option1: In this case you can use a hub or switch and sare the printer on one of the laptops. This is not the cheapes way though. Option2: If you don't want to buy a hub you can connect two laptops with a RJ45 cross-over cable, and still share the printer on one of them. BUT this type of setup WILL NOT alow you to add more computers in future.

2 Conditions: One of the laptops is portable (may leave the network).
Option: Connect the printer to the stationary laptop and share it.

3 Conditions: Either laptop is portable.
Option1: Keep re-attaching printer to the laptop the stays (not recommended).
Option2: Get a not expensive Print Server and a hub, attach your printer to print server with a static IP.
The last solution is preffered in any conditions because it provides 100% priter avalability for the laptops, PLUS to any other computers that can be connected to your network in future.
