text: i have two computers, but one printer and internet cable, how can i print from other computer?   you have two options, network, or plug and play.  for networking, it takes more time to setup though may be more efficient in the long run. you will need to connect the two computers together with your network cable and on both computers, go to control panel and set up a home network. make sure to have your printer connected to the host computer.  for plug and play, it is much more easy and may only take one a two seconds longer in the long run. just install the printer driver on both your computers and plug the usb connection to the computer you want to print from. the downside to this method is that both your computers and printer have to be located close to each other.
