Windows Server 2008: share a printer

This is a video on how to share a printer on server 2008. The process is similar in Server 2003 / 2000, Windows XP / Pro / Vista / 7. I share the printer in a workgroup. The ideal method is to share it in a domain so that you have much more control over the printer. Also, If find that with a workgroup or with Home versions of Windows, The computer will forget the shared printer more often. Mainly because Microsoft makes more money in a domain environment, so that's what they would encourage.

Providing training videos since last Tuesday.

do you need to add the printer services role for this to work?

Thanks very much for this video, But Still have have a challenge.

Is this senerio possible: A certain printer is locally connected to computer A, Computer B is sharing this printer it with A. I want to use this same printer on computer C via a network connection to B. Please help.

@Papandia That's an odd question. You might be able to share the printer on B. I never tried to share a shared printer. (I'm not certain if that is the way to express that!) If A and C are on different networks, you might also try to use the ROUTE command to make a route on C to A's network. Then you can share the printer via "\\IPADDRESS\Printer_NAME" I have a Route video and create a route at about the 4 minute mark. Then even though, A and C are on different networks, C can still find A.
