To share your printer, right click on it and select Sharing. Choose share a printer and give it a name. Click OK. Now on the other PC use the install printer wizard and add a network printer. You can either browse for it or enter the name manually (such as \\mycomputer\myprinter but replacing these values with the names of the computer and printer).

This may help for sharing the scanner: http://www.remote-scan.com/

HI,
Does your scanner support network printing? Most consumer-level scanners, including the ones in all-in-one devices, do not. True network-capable scanners are available and cost many thousands of dollars.You normally can't share the multiple functions, only the printing ability. Unless you get a (very expensive) printer that is meant to share functions over a network.
Thanks.
