Sharing Your Printer with Others on Your Network

In many home, office, and school locations, multiple computers share one printer. If the printer is on the network, all computers on that network access the printer directly. But what if the printer is a USB printer connected directly to your computer, for example? With Mac OS X, you can easily share the printer connected to your computer.
 
Once you set up a printer to be shared, other users on your network simply select the shared printer just as they would any other printer in their list. When you share a printer, documents waiting to print (known as the print queue) are stored on your hard disk.
