text: had 2 puters hooked up to a router and was told they share a printer but old puter won't send it to printer i was told to go on old puter and bring up printer and go to file and select share as but no where in the file does it say anything about share on the old puter which i am running win me  the new puter is win xp puters are on a router question is what am i missing and also can we run 2 separte printers there are two ways you can go about this.  1.  buy a network capable printer.  they run about $200-$300.  2.  install the printer on one machine and print through that machine.  it's really a pain in the arse, which was why i always recommend having a networked printer when you have two or more pc's.  windows does not always recognize the printer on that other machine.  you can have as many printers as you have network connections available if they are all part of the network.  alternatively, you can hook up each printer as a loal printer to each individual machine.
