    « on: February 23, 2013, 04:24:54 PM »
    Greetings all. I have a Brother MFC-J825 printer connected to a Dell 660 Win 8 PC. It works fine. I have a Dell Demensions PC rrunning XP that i would like to share the same printer. Verizon router/ moden. Both machinces are connected to the router for the internet. The printer is connected to the 660 machine. All is wired and I rather it that way. Now, how can I share the printer with these two different OSs.
     Thanking you in advance, Hennessy.

    Microsoft tutorial should help you get printer shared on Win 8 to the Win XP system. I'd give a step by step process in my own words if I had Windows 8, but I haven't gotten a copy of it yet.
