Sometimes you need to use a printer connected to another Windows 7 machine and they’re not part of a Homegroup, but are on the same network. Today we show you how to share a printer between two Windows 7 computers on a home network.

Note: In this example we’re connecting a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit computer to an HP PSC 1500 printer on a Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit bit machine. They are on the same home network, but not part of the same Homegroup. Keep in mind every printer is different so finding and installing the correct drivers will vary.

Share Printer

On the computer with the printer you want to share, open Advanced Sharing Settings and make sure File and Printer Sharing is turned on.

Next open Devices and Printers from the Start menu, right-click on the printer you want to share, and select Printer Properties.
