Shared Printer Problem in OSX

Asked By alfred martin 30 points N/A Posted on - 04/19/2012

I have an iMac that has a USB printer connected in it. I can print fine in that iMac using the connected printer but the problem is when I'm using the printer from my other computer. I have set the configuration to allow everyone to use the printer. What could be the solution for my problem? Are there configurations I've missed?

Thanks.
