Just go to Control Panel > Printers And Faxes, select the printer you want to share, and, on the File menu, click Sharing. (If you're adding a new printer, the Add Printer wizard lets you set up sharing.)

You don't have to change the name of the printer, as long as it's different from the names of the other devices in the workgroup and the workgroup name itself. If you do change it, give it a name that makes it easy to identify, such as the manufacturer name or location. But keep in mind that you'll now see both names listed when you print from the computer it's attached to. It doesn't matter which one you choose. Other computers will see only the share name.

	Print servers such as the HP JetDirect EW2400 let you share a printer across a network.
