How do O set up COMODO for printer sharing?  I am using Windows Vista Home premium 64 bit

I recommend putting the printer on a port of a router containing a firewall.  This allows the PCs to disable dangerous services for file and printer sharing, and it prevents infections from spreading between computers.  Remember: if files/resources are accessible from another computer on your LAN, they are also accessible by others on the internet.

More reasons for a hardware router/firewall:

You need to make the LAN or the specific printer IP trusted.  Go to Firewall --> Common Tasks --> My Network zones --> now add your LAN or printer as network zone.

Next step is to use the Stealth Ports Wizard to make the LAN or your printer IP trusted. Firewall --> Common Tasks --> Stealth Ports Wizard --> select Define a new trusted network and stealth my ports to everyone else--> Next --> I would like to trust an exisitng My Network Zone --> choose your LAN or printer zone from the drop down menu --> Finish.
