If the two computers are on the same network, make sure the driver is installed on both computers (you can usually download it from the manufacturers website). connect it to one of the two and make sure that computer has printer sharing turned ON. Go on the other computer and go into network devices/printers, or go into Microsoft Word and go file>print>find printer.

How can several computers use the same printer?
A wireless connection card can be inserted into the printer with a disk to install the printer.
Can you hook two computers to one printer?
Yes, you can. There are multiple ways to that. First one is to connect the printer to one of computers and connect both computer to the same network or just to each other. Second one is available if your printer supports LAN. For this case you need a router or switch. Third one is to use print server, and you will need a router or switch but LAN support is not required. USA port must be present.
Why does my computer pause documents that have been sent to the printer?
It usually means the printer utility can't "find" the printer so it has paused the printing until it can see it. Either turn the printer on, hook the USB cable up or make sure you are on the same network node as the printer.
Can a dozen or more computers share a single printer?
Yes, it is known as a network printer. When several computers are trying to use a network printer at the same time, a print queue will form. The delays in print jobs reaching the printer mean that each user must wait for their printing job to get to the front of the queue and so printed.
What is the purpose of having computers conected to a network for printing?
So that multiple users may share the same printer.

No. Each connected printer has it's own address so the computer ses them all as separate devices. However, you cannot normally print to more than one printer at the same time (on the same command).
Does the printer have to be the same brand as the computer?
No. In fact, many of the most popular printer brands, such as Canon or Epson, do not make computers. Most printers should be compatible with most computers. Some printers require drivers that can be easily downloaded online or via given software.
Can you hook up a a separate stove top oven and separate oven on the same circuit?

I have one printer and four computers what gadget can I use to print from four computers to my printer without transferring the connection?
It depends on if you have a net-workable printer or not. If you have a wireless or ethernet equipt printer then you could use an wireless router that usually has 4 ethernet ports. I have my computers (six of them) hooked to an ethernet switch (and a couple connected wireless) which is hooked to a wireless router. My printer is wireless (or ethernet capable) and can be used by all my computers without doing a thing. As long as the computers AND the printer stay on the same network then they can all print. Most of my computers are Macs and I can use the "Location" feature to switch back and forth from my "internet DSL" location back to my "offline local" network. If you only have a USB printer then you could use the printer sharing feature on your computer and then it would work but you would always have to have that one computer on ALL the time. There are also USB servers that use an ethernet cable to connect to the network, you just plug the USB cable from the printer into the server and then it is plugged into the computer, ethernet switch, router, etc.
