to the Workplace Shell (or into a folder) while holding the right
mouse button down.
2. Type a name of your choice in the Name field.
3. Select \PIPE\<name>.LP1 from the Port list, and select a printer
driver suitable for your printer from the Standard Printer list.

show how you can share your printer resources:

previous side.
