I have two computers with two printers. (Each has its own printer) I recently purchased two laptops. Can the two printers are shared with each of the laptops? The team are said to be shared. Both laptops can print from a printer, but could not print from the other, as they said the wrong printer name or printer loses connection to the server. Why this happens and you can print from both laptops both printers? HELP ME COMPUTER WIZ. Essentially – if all computers are running Windows XP, then you can run the Network Setup Wizard. Create the installation disk from the net to end the wizard and run the disk on each computer running. Be sure to share files and printers on each installation. Then you should be able to use any printer from any computer you want. However, if you are not running the same operating system on all computers is becoming more difficult to achieve this.
