3.4.5. Windows XP: Sharing a printer

It is possible to put a printer on the network and share it with all computers in the house equipped with a

button and enter a name for your printer.
Give the printer a name that is unique and sufficiently
distinctive, making it easy to recognize (my-printer or home
laser printer, for example). If one of your computers is running
Windows 98 SE, we recommend that the sharing name not
exceed 12 characters (without spaces) in order to ensure its
compatibility with this operating system.
