Hey,

Does any body know how to set up a printer to be shared through 3 computers. I have a router and all the computers are running the printer software. I dont want to buy a print server. Thanks

I assume you are using XP? You can share the printer out from one of the machines to the other two. Just connect the printer, (I assume the drivers are installed) note: remote access to the machine must be enabled, then click on START, SETTINGS, Printers and Faxes, then right click on the printer and click on SHARING.
