Sharing printers between Windows 7 and XP

In addition to the sharing of files and folders, printer sharing is often a big problem for multi-system users. Today, I will introduce you to Windows 7 and XP machines. Share the printer between.

The first thing we have to do is enter the device and printer on the Windows 7 machine and double-click the printer icon.

Double-click "Customize your printer"

Click on the Sharing tab in the properties and check the type and name of the shared printer

if XP system is 32-bit, you can install the driver first

Click the network icon under Windows 7, you can see that the printer is already in the sharing list.

Second, it’s XP. Start Menu - Settings - Printers and Faxes

Add Printers

Select Network Printers

Select to connect to this printer and enter the printer path to the Windows 7 machine

At this point, you are usually done. However, some machines may need to reinstall the driver.
