Some_Guy_ Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 2 comps can share a printer through a network, or with one of those a/b switches. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 Get yourself a router that supports print sharing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth_Man Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 or get yourself a printserver aka, network card for your printer. assuming that you already have a router and dont want to buy another that has a built in printserver. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LobbDogg Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 Or just share the printer off 1 machine and just be networked together. Then on the other computer just add the printer as a network printer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 That is the cheapest option, but one computer will have to be on in order to print from the second computer. B) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
