A method and apparatus for providing printing environment of printer shared by a plurality of computers wherein the printing environment according to a user is provided to the printer without data for new printing environment whenever performing printing operation. There is provided a plurality of computers connected to a shared computer via a repeater, a memory for storing printing environment data corresponding to user identifications, a video controller for detecting a user identification accompanying printing data transmitted from one of the plurality of computers for reading out of the memory printing environment data corresponding to the detected user identification and a print engine for printing an image corresponding to the printing data in accordance with the printing environmental data. Additionally, there is provided a method for providing printing environment of a printer shared by a plurality of computers, comprising the steps of: receiving printing data and user identification from one of the plurality of computers; checking whether or not printing environment data corresponding to the received user identification is stored in a memory; reading the printing environment data according to the user identification from the memory when the printing environment data corresponding to the user identification is stored in the memory; and setting a printing environment according to the printing environment data read from the memory.
