How do u network two computers to one printer?computer protection

three common ways,

first if the printer itself is a network printer it will have an Ethernet port on it plug it into the router just like its another computer, and follow the instructions that came with it to install it, this should be done on both computers.

second get a print server router they work good, but often don't fully work for the operations like scanning because more then one computer is connected to it.

third set up home networking and share the printer from the computer that its plugged into, then install it on the other and it should work, but the primary computer needs to be on in order for the printer to be used. also home networking slows down windows something wicked, so i don't recommend it unless you cant use the other methods
get a printer router. Best Buy for like 50 bucks maybe less
on windows xp, go to printers and faxes option, then click the add printer, then next, the choose a network printer, or a printer attached to another computer... then just follow the instruction...
