I have Windows 7 installed on two computers.
I can share folders between them fine.
However, I can't seem to share printers between them: when I right-click on the printer I expect to see "share printer" but there is no option for that.
When I read about "share printers" in the Windows 7 help, it talks about this computer "not being able to connect to a home network", yet they seem to be connected fine (I can share files between them).
Why can't I share printers between the computers if I can share files?
