First thing are requirements: In order to print from anywhere in the house, all the computer have to be connected to the same network, which means either connected to the same router by wire or you need to have a wireless network setup in your house.第一件事是要求：以打印随时随地在众议院中，所有的电脑都必须连接到同一网络，这意味着无论是连接到同一路由器通过有线或你需要一个无线网络安装在你的房子。 That way all the computers can see each other on the network, otherwise if the computers cannot communicate, then there can’t be any sharing!这样，所有的电脑可以看到对方的网络，否则，如果电脑无法沟通，那么就不可能有任何分享！

Step 1: First you need to make sure all the computers are in the same Workgroup.步骤1 ：首先，你必须确保所有计算机都在同一工作组中使用。 A workgroup is a Windows term that basically means a group of computers that have something in commom and can communicate together.工作群组是一个Windows来说，基本上是指一组电脑，有一些常见和可以沟通在一起。 So to make sure all the computers are in the same group, you need to click on Start, and then Control Panel.所以，以确保所有计算机都在同一组中，你需要点击开始，然后控制面板。 Once you are there, click Switch To Classic View in the upper left corner.一旦你有，点击切换到经典视图左上角。 Now click on the System icon.现在点击系统图标。 Click on the Computer Name tab.单击计算机名称选项卡。 Click the Change button at the bottom of the dialog box.点击变更按钮在底部的对话框。

Once you type in the name, click OK and then OK again and Windows will ask you to restart the computer for the changes to take effect.一旦你输入姓名，按确定，然后再确定和Windows将要求你重新启动电脑，为使更改生效。 Go ahead and do this.你尽管做到这一点。 In the meantime you can do these same steps for the other computers in your house that you want to connect to the printer.在此期间，你可以做这些相同的步骤，为其它计算机上你的房子，你想连接到打印机。

Now that all the comptuers are in the same group, let’s get to actually sharing the printer.现在所有comptuers都是在同一组，让我们去，实际上共享打印机。 Go to the comptuer that the printer is connected to and click on Start and then Printers and Faxes:去到comptuer表示打印机连接，并点击开始，然后在打印机和传真：

Click OK and you’ll see the printer icon looks a different now:单击确定，你会看到打印机图标看起来现在情况有所不同：

This means that the printer is currently being shared and now we will be able to find it from the other computers.这意味着打印机，目前正在分享，现在我们将能够找到它从其他计算机。 However, before we go to the other computers, we need one more piece of information from the comptuer that is connected to the printer: the name of the computer.不过，在我们去到其他电脑上，我们需要多一个片资料，从comptuer是连接到打印机：电脑的名称。

If you don’t know the name of the computer, you can follow these steps: Click on Start and then Run.如果你不知道电脑的名称，你可以按照下列步骤进行：点击开始，然后再运行。

Then when the Run dialog comes up, type in CMD and click OK:那么当运行对话框的时候，键入CMD公司并单击确定：

When you see the Welcome to the Add Printer wizard, go ahead and click Next.当您看到欢迎你们来添加打印机向导，去进取，单击下一步。 On the next screen where it asks you what type of printer you want to connect to, choose “A network printer or a printer attached to another computer” option and click Next.对下一个画面，而要求你什么类型的打印机想要接通，选择"网络打印机或打印机连接到另一台计算机"选项，并单击下一步。

In the next screen, you want to choose “Connect to this printer (or to browse for a printer…)” option and in the text box you will now need to type two forward slashes, “\\” followed by the computer name that we found out earlier, followed by another slash and then the name you chose for the shared printer (in our example HPHome).在未来的画面中，你要选择"连接到这台打印机（或更好地浏览一台打印机… … ） "选项，并在文本框中，你现在将需要键入两个向前斜线， " \ \ " ，然后由计算机名称我们发现较早，然后再斜线，然后名字，你选择了为共享打印机（在我们的例子hphome ） 。

Remember, since the other computers are connecting to the main computer attached to the printer, the main computer must be on at all times.请记住，因为其他电脑连接到主计算机连接到印表机，电脑主机必须是在任何时候。 Or at least when you want to be able to print from somewhere else.或者至少是当你希望能够打印从别的地方。 That’s why this method is only good for a home setup, where the main computer stays in one place and is mostly kept on.这也就是为什么这种方法不仅有利于一个主页设置，即主要电脑停留在一个地方，并大多是不断。
