All things considered, network them. You will regret the windows sharing the first time you have a computer fail and that was the one the printer was connected to.... Even if failures are rare, how many times will the machine that the printer is connected to be off when you want to print from the other?

We have two computers side by side on the front desk for receipts and Medicare forms. The 2 receptionists use this printer exclusively. Only very rarely do others in the practice need to use the frontdesk printer. Should we have a network printer or just a shared printer between the two using Windows print sharing?
