You're working on a document on the laptop in the living room and you
want to print—except the printer's in the home office. Sharing a
printer connected to a PC on your 'home network'
(http://lifehacker.com/tag/home-network/) and printing to it from any
other computer, even over a wireless connection, is a breeze. Whether
you want to print from a Mac or another PC, here's how to share a single
printer for use by any computer on your home network.
