Q: How to share printer
I must be missing something really simple here.
I have a USB printer connected to an iMac running 10.9.4. Printer sharing is turned on.
I also have a MacBook Air, running 10.9.4. It does not see the printer.
All the instructions from Apple say I can share printers with "other Macs on the same network". I guess the MBA isn't "on the same network" as the iMac. How do I get them "on the same network" so the MacBook Air can see and print to the iMac's printer?
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2), iMac (Late 2009), 3.06GHz

I was able to fix this by turning screen sharing on and then off. After that the iMac's printer showed up on the MBA. I don't know how or why doing that worked, but I can print now. Thanks.
