Windows XP: Sharing a printer 

It is possible to put a printer on the network and share it with all computers in the house equipped with a 

Hercules ePlug adapter. 

 To access a printer on the network, the printer must be set up for sharing on the computer where it is 

connected and installed.

 

On the computer connected to the printer: 

 

1.  Click 

Start/Control Panel/Printers and Other Hardware/

 

Printers and Faxes

2.  Right-click the printer and select 

Sharing

3.  In  the 

Sharing 

tab,  select  the 

Share  this  printer 

radio 

button and enter a name for your printer. 

Give  the  printer  a  name  that  is  unique  and  sufficiently 

distinctive,  making  it  easy  to  recognize  (my-printer  or  home 
laser printer, for example).  If one of your computers is running 

Windows 98 SE,  we  recommend  that  the  sharing  name  not 
exceed 12 characters (without spaces) in order  to ensure its 

compatibility with this operating system.

 

4.  Click 

Apply

, then 

OK
