Ok here's the scenario:
-1 new printer in the office connected via USB to a PC which is connected to the network.
How to make this printer shared on the network of the office from another PC??
I thought any printer that is connected to a network PC is automatically shared but not this one.

what is the OS and how are your pcs networked ( group , AD , etc )
vegetaleb
Windows 7
Networked via a central PC, using Workgroup

Open Devices and Printers by clicking the Start button , and then, on the Start menu, clicking Devices and Printers.
Right-click the printer you want to share, and then click Printer properties.
Click the Sharing tab, and select the Share this printer check box.

This is done on the PC directly connected to the printer, I want to do it from another PC but in the same network, windows can't detect the new printer on the network because this employee didn't share it, I want to activate the sharing myself ;)
Tarek
you need to share it first from the pc connected to the printer and give permissions to everyone ( or the user you want to use )
it cannot be done remotely

Just open run and type "//PCName" it opens the STP sharing folder. You should find the printer there. Just double click it or something.
ironman
remote desktop to the "remote pc" and share it from there.
Tarek
if it is not shared from the remote computer ( the one connected directly to the printer ) you cannot do anything .
