Multiple computers sharing one printer and sharing a drive

[benparker]

Hi all

A friend who works for a charity asked if they can get help printing to one printer and share a drive. At the moment they have about five PC's one printer and an netgear 8 port switch (GS108 model). Right now if they want to print, they email one guy who does the printing.

What are the easiest options? I know there is a way to set it up so one PC has to be always switched on so others can print. How should they go about it?

Thanks

So can connect to the primary computer as long as I have its name? And they should all be connected to the switch?
