Adding printers

I currently have 2 computers connected to broadband cable with router. I have 3 printers a lasre an inkjet and an old dot matrix, and I use all 3 frequently. I have yet to figure out how to file and print share between the 2 computers. I usually connect and move the printers around as needed. I know there is an easier way, I just don't know what it
 
Generally, you connect the printer to a computer and then share it out. Once the printer is shared out, you will be able to access it from the other systems.

You didn't specify which operating system you are using. Here's a link showing how to do it for Windows 98. Has some nice screenshots. how to share a printer in Win98

Once the printer is shared. You'll have to go to the other computer and add it. You can go to Start --> Settings --> Printers and add it that way. Or you can add it via a unc. Go to Start, then in the run command type \\machinename of the machine that has the computer connected to it\printer name For example, \\Mycoolmachine\printer1

Hope that helps.
