To be absolutely honest - I have only just conected the second PC, and haven't decided what linux to use on it for now. At the moment installing LE if the old hardware will do it. I would quite like to have printing going as can print output of issues etc.On Wednesday 18 May 2005 11:08, Derek Jennings wrote:
That is assuming you have cups running on both computers and you are not using a firewall in either computer. (The firewall will block traffic both to the internet **and the local network**. You have to open up the local network to printer traffic) The Cups servers in each computer will discover each other and allow their printers to be shared.
If the firewall has been set to allow local (lan) traffic no additional entry is required. That's how mine works.

Eventually I'd like to have mini network with two PCs to be able to access internet, and to just be able to *do* it. I have a perfectly good OS working and doing everything I want - I simply don't understand why I need to experiment :-)
