text: 1. All the computers you want to connect must have network cards\n2. Connect the computers to a switch using straight UTP cables\n3. Assing IP addresses from the same class to all computers(use a private class, eg. 192.168.1.0 then youtre computers would have the addresses: 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2 etc. and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0). Make sure all youre computers are in the same workgroup\n4. If the printer has a network card connect it to the network and assign it an IP address (like explained for the computers). The u set up set up printing using the printers network address. If it doesn't have a network card connect it to a computer and turn that computer into a print server (or buy a print server if you wish) and set up printing on the other computers by pointing them to the print server (on the print server make sure the printer is shared)
