Sharing a network printer just does not make sense.  By its very nature being on a network it is shared.  It just adds complexity.

I have an OfficeJet L7580 and want to connect a 2nd computer to the printer wirelessly.  I have already connected printer via cable to my router, but can't get second computer to print. am I missing a driver? Does it matter what port I plug into for the router?  OSU83

Thanks so much for the comprehensive reply.  My only additional question: how do I browse to the printer & find its IP address?  I have conencted it via ethernet cable to my router but do not see it showing up as a device.  Thank you.

Print a Wireless Network Test from the Network menu on the front of the printer to get its IP address.

 

Type that address into the address (not search) bar of a browser.
