How to Enable Sharing with USB Printers

Sharing USB printers can be a convenient way to access a shared printer from multiple computers. All that is needed is a network-capable printer with a USB port and a router to enable the connection. Use these steps to enable sharing with a USB printer on your network.

  1. Connect the USB printer to the router. Most routers have multiple network ports into which the USB wireless printer can be plugged. Consult your router documentation to configure the port that you used for the printer.
  2. Connect the other end of the USB printer cable to the printer. Wait for the router to detect the printer.
  3. Run the Bluetooth setup utility on your computer. This utility is available on the official website of most wireless printers. Enter the printer's Product Key to complete the setup.
  4. Connect the other computers on the network to the printer. Once the Bluetooth setup is complete on one computer, other computers on the network can access the printer through the same setup utility.
