Share a printer connected to a computer

Network Magic automatically shares locally-connected printers (that is, printers connected directly to computers).

If there is a problem with automatic sharing

If Network Magic cannot automatically share a local printer (for example, if firewall software prevents printer sharing), you can still use Network Magic to complete printer setup.

  1. Open Network Magic, and then click What's New.
 
  1. In the Optimize Your Network box, click Complete printer setup.
 
  1. Follow the instructions on the screen.

 

To help you get ready for printer sharing, Network Magic can reduce the hassle of dealing with printer drivers. For information, see Printer drivers.
