Help needed about Print Sharing:
This thread has been thrown around quite a bit the past couple of days.
What I would like to know is...
Has anyone had any experience sharing a USB Compaq (a lexmark clone,
really) color printer (currently and only connected to a Windows XP
PeeCee wich has PC MacLAN). Windows XP doesn't like the Compaq drivers
for the printer, and always tries to install its own, which don't work.
But that's not the point, anyway. I would like to be able to make this
color printer available on my home network, which looks like...
CableModem===Router===PeeCee__Printer
===
StyleWriter~~Mac Classic---IIci====PM7100
Where ~~ is printer cable __ is USB === is 10bT and --- is LocalTalk.
The Classic can see the PeeCee's HD via PC MacLAN, the IIci can get on
the internet, and so on. It would be really nice to share my Compaq
Printer over the network, perhaps using the PeeCee as a print server to
make it an emulated PostScript Printer? I think someone mentioned such
software for Windoze, but can anyone tell me where to get it and how to
set it up?
Thanks
