326177 2005-02-18 07:38:00 Could anyone please spare a few minutes to guide me, in simple noddy language, to connect my computer in my spare room to the printer attached to the computer in my study? I have just connected to a wired jetstream network
and hope it is possible to do it by this means. Thanks

326181 2005-02-18 09:20:00 Does your printer have a network port and is it connected to the hub? Or is it connected to the PC via the parallel cable? andrew93 (249)

326183 2005-02-18 09:27:00 I figured that out after my post crossed with yours. Have a look at this webpage (www.pcstats.com) which explains printer sharing in XP. If you get stuck post another reply into this thread.
HTH, Andrew
