Sharing Printers

I would like to use the home network to print away from the printer. Under
printers and faxes, the designated printer says offline. How do I fix this?

Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network
settings,http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html
As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.

Open the printer, click "printer, use printer off-line" to remove the tick.
