It is real easy. Just go through the printer configuration Wizard in Mandrake Control Centre>Hardware on each machine starting with the machine with the attached printer. The wizard will install the CUPS print server which will make the printer available to any computer. If you have Windows computers on the net, then install Samba after setting up the printer, and then Samba will make the printer available to Windows users. The only problem you might have is if you have a firewall running on either machine. If the firewall is in place you will need to open port 631. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
