Tana Dumoulin: All you need is a switch to connect the PCs, and either one of them hosting the printer, or a printer with a direct connection to the network. And if you want to add internet, simply run the switch thru a router connected to a broadband connection.
Tomi Vauters: Two type of net working by which you can achieve your goal. 1. Domain Based:- you will need computers, RJ 45 connectors, Clim ping tool. One 16 port switch & cat 5 cables. You must know the international color code of your cables or you can get it from at&t site or IBM website.. Now you can connect all computer to different port of switch. One computer has to act as server & now this will also connect to port of the switch.

Renato Abatiell: The two computers have to be connected - router or crossover cable doesn't matter. they have to be in the same workgroup. Install the printer on one computer. Share it (right click on it/properties/sharing) Wait about 15 minutes. Then, on the other computer, install a new printer - network printer - browse. Look for the printer on the other computer. Select it. You'll probably have to pur the CD into that computer too, to load the driver for the printer. You're done.
