[bcab] Re: same printer for more than 1 PC?

Hello Simon

If you have 4 computers all hooked via Ethernet cable to one broadband 
connection then you have a standard network and so you do not need anything 
else to share your printer. Assuming that you are running Windows, go to the 
machine that has the printer attached to it, Start menu - settings - printers 
and select the printer. Right-click to get the context menu - sharing and set 
it to be shared. Go to the same Printers place on anothe rmachine, select the 
Add printer icon, and follow the wizard to add a network printer. You will 
probablyneed the original driver CD for th printer.

Regards
Tony

  hello list, 
  please does anyone know if there is a bit of hardware out there that will let 
me connect the same printer up to more than 1 computer, but with out needing 
the computers to be a network? 
  I don't have the space to have a printer by all 4 computers here, and need to 
use there Ethernet ports to get them on broadband internet, so can't network 
them either as they only have 1 Ethernet port each.
