2 computers 1 printer?

I have 2 computers and 1 printer. One is windows 98 and the other is XP. My printer is a Canon Multipass C5500. I have both computers hooked to the internet by a linksys broadband router. What do i have to do to if i want to hook both of them up to the Canon Multipass C5500 that is connected to the windows 98 computer. I want to connect the printer to the XP with little or no hardware to be bought.



Thanks

You will possibly need to manually install the XP driver as if it was local, then once it is shared (previous answer was good) You should see it in your network places, double-click it, and it should find the installed drivers. Then delete the dummy local printer. On 98 You may need to turn on file and printer sharing in the client tab of your network connection's properties, this often does not offer itself automatically.

goto start/settings/printers and go to properties on that printer and turn on printer sharing. Then install the drivers for each operating system on the proper pc then you should be able to print from both pcs using your router as a hub.
