Default How to Share a Printer

What are the steps in sharing a printer in ME? I want to add my XP
Laptop to this wireless printer, but I don't know how to share the
printer. How do you share a printer in Windows Me?


Assuming that the printer is attached to a computer in a very similar way
to as in XP. That is by selecting the printer on the host, properties,
selecting sharing and enabling however first you need to enable file and
printer sharing (Network Properties | Configuration and click the button
File and Printer Sharing.

However you mention the printer as being a wireless printer so does that
mean that it is a network printer rather than being attached directly to a
PC? If that is the case then on your XP Laptop use the Add Printer Wizard
(Settings | Printers & Faxes | Add Printer). Select to add a Network
Printer and then either browse to it, select and continue.
