right click on the printer icon from within "devices and printers"
Choose printer properties
Click on the sharing tab
tick "share this printer"
Someone will come along and tell you the way to share your files by method of workgroup or homegroup.
which is the best way in your situation I would think.
If they don't, then ill come back and tell you how to share folders like on a corperate network0 -
Andy makes a valid point ... are both machines configured in the same Homegroup?
If not it isn't too hard to do do - a Google search should give the exact method for setting it up.
