hello all,

I recently visited an office where a simple network existed.

There are four computers connected to a D-link Switch connected to a broadband internet connection.

Question: The computers are connected to internet directly (via a switch) and i want to add a printer ( HP laserjet 3055 network ready ) and make it shared between the computers. Looking the best way to approach the problem.

Thanks
Ankesh

To share printer on the switched network, simply attach printer to one of the computer from N/W. Goto add printer and follow steps accordingly. If sharing is not enabled on you computers then you should enable it. right click on any file/folder and select sharing & security then make a new workgroup and make it name MSHOME or any you like and restart it.Make sure you change the workgroup of all computers to the MSHOME and for doing this Right click on my computers->properties->comp name, here enter name of work group and get restarted all computers. Now your one N/W with workgroup named MSHOME is formed. Finally go to printer and share it. At the end, to access the printer on other comps you have to goto N/W places see whether printer is there on shared n/W or not if there then double click it and the printer window will appear, close it. d this on all.now just select anything you want to and select print. you will surely be able to print it.
