Question

Network administration

Answer 1

Connect computers with a patch cord, set up a network and set up printer sharing. If you already have a network, then you can skip the first two steps.

Answer 2

If there is a router, connect the printer to the 1st laptop, share the printer - connect to the printer from the 2nd laptop.

Answer 3

If the printer has a network port (RJ-45), then simply connect the printer to an existing network.
If the router has a USB port, then there is a chance that you can connect a printer to it,
for example, like this
