If you want to avoid Windows sharing issues, then yes, you can use a garden variety wired or wireless print server to connect the printer to the network.
Each machine which accesses the print server will consider it to be a local printer. Just follow the instructions that come with the print server.

I neglected to give the network that's connecting them together. I know *exactly*zero* about all this strange windows-networking stuff. [and indeed, worse comes to worse, I'll see if I can find a *real* lineprinterserver [using LPR or some such] and not bother with window's sharing... :o)]]. My systems are all set up with wireless cards and for the most part wireless to the Linksys [and from there to the Direcway box, as needed]. Don't know a thing about workgroups or domains or any of that other microsoft-like networking stuff [which is likely why I can't get the print-serving to work...:o)] /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <-- -- ---------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is your picture included in the Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page? http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html If not, write to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ---------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is your picture included in the Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page? http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html If not, write to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
