How to share a printer with the network, in Windows

Right click or tap and hold on it and then go to Printer properties in the right-click menu. If you have a multifunctional printer installed that also works also as a fax or scanner or both, then you may need to choose which of its properties you want to select. Select the printer’s properties. In my case, I use a Canon Pixma MG2400 printer that works only as a printer, so I had only one option: Printer properties.

The printer's Properties window is opened. Depending on the printer model and its drivers, you will see different tabs and options.
Go to the Sharing tab, which is common to all printers.

Here you can share the printer with the entire network. Check the box that says "Share this printer". Then, you can edit the share name of the printer, in case you don't want to use the default name provided by Windows.

Rendering all print jobs on client computers can help keep performance levels up on the computer where the printer is plugged in, especially when big printing jobs are ordered. Check the "Render print jobs on client computers" box if you want this feature enabled.
When done, click or tap OK. The printer is now shared with the other computers on your network, regardless of the operating systems they are using.

Conclusion

Now that your printer is shared with the network, you are done with the easy part. Next, you need to install it on the computers that need to use it. Below you will find some useful recommendations, that can help you further in this endeavor.
