OK, I take it you've switched the box connecting to the internet? If this is
working, that's not a problem.
You don't really need pmfirewall on both machines...only the one doing the
dial-up.

I'll assume you did this on "Box1"
You have the printer on Box2, which is connecting to the internet, and
running linux.
What are you running now on Box1? If it's windows, then we'll need to set up
samba. If it's linux all-round then I think filesystem mounting will need
nfs set up (I'm not too sure about this--I'll look into it) and for printing
you'll need the lpd and lpq set up correctly on each machine. We can also do
this with samba if we need to.
Samba can be either easy, or complicated, depending on what level of
configuration you want. Also, if we edit the samba.conf file manually, it'll
take a bit of tweaking. I'll need to brush up on both before we tackle this
one.
For the printer, you should be able to go into DrakConf, and add the
printer, local for Box2, and set the lpq on Box1 (line printer queue) to
Box2's lpq.
I'm not well versed in linux printing--cause I haven't tried it yet...and
when I do, it'll be a far different story for me since my two printers are
on an HP JetDirect printserver...not connected to a computer.
I'll brish up and get back to you.
