Hello! I have configured small home network and I can use everything except printer. Namely, on the computer on which is attached, printer works just fine,; but from other computer I just cannot connect to printer. Both computers run Windows XP operating system. Please, tell me what to do to solve this problem.

Hello! You will need to share printer first: Start -> Control Panel -> Printer and Faxes -> right click on printers icon -> Properties -> Sharing tab -> check Share this printer -> OK. On the second computer you need to add printer: Start -> Control Panel -> Printer and Faxes -> Printer Tasks -> Add a printer -> Next -> check Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer and A network printer, or printer attached to another computer -> Next -> check Browse for a printer -> Next -> click on your printer in this list -> Next -> check that you will use it as default printer -> Next -> Finish.
