    I have a HP printer that is not a network printer. Can I hook it up through USB to my iMac and then somehow enable printer sharing so other computers on the network can print in another room onto it?

    I have it set up so I can share files back and forth as both iMacs are running Leopard.

    I think i found the option under system prefrences>Sharing. I'll give that a try.

    It worked perfectly. I installed the software on only the computer hooked up to the printer through USB. On the second one I went into the printer settings. Clicked on the + sign to add a printer and it immediately saw the one I was sharing. Just printed as normal from that one.
