What do you mean you ran out of pages? Sharing a printer from a computer is pretty simple, only issue is that the computer it's connected to needs to be on all the time. Some home routers may have a USB connection for printer sharing, although every one I tried was very slow to print so was not very usable.

Share the printer on the network, you will have options to select who has rights to print to it, select "Everyone" and there should not be any prompts for passowrds.

Or replace the printer with one that has network capability, for inkjets even those with WiFi and/or Ethernet are pretty cheap, that way you don't need the host computer on.

HI , printers share does this but you can only do 20 pages per month before having to buy one of their plans

So printershare is the free android app you are using, correct? Remove that and use the cloud print option on your phone and setup the printer on your PC, good guide below

So use the normal Windows print sharing built in or connect the printer to the router if you have that ability on it. If you want to use that 3rd party app then you need to pay for it to be unrestricted.
