Help me print to a network printer

[James]

Printer is connected directly to Computer B. Computer A and computer B are on the same network.

Computer A cannot detect Printer to add it to its list.

I'm assuming the printer isn't configured properly to the network, so I can't locate it. But why?

Sorry I'm a little late, this is my first time here ( so I signed up for an account so I could answer you.) :)

If you go to your printer properties on computer B Start>Settings>Printers and faxes> right-click on the printer you want and select properties...

then choose the "sharing" tab you should see "share this printer" select that and give the printer a name.

Now when you look for new printers on computer A should should see that printer with whatever name you gave it. :)

Oh umm... if you have a Mac I have no clue how to do it.

(don't worry I won't normally revive such old threads, but your question was never answered. :) )
