Dear Mr. Supramanian,
What I'm trying to do is connecting to another computer
with the printer attached, but it's not in the same
workgroup with mine ( both computer running the WinXP
home).
So, I was trying to connect to the network printer using
the browser / IE ( via URL ) --you can find it using the
add printer wizard, option 3--
I don't know how to set the whole things up (for the
compie attached to printer and my computer)...so I need
help here.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best Regards,
Hidianto
