yes, and then you find printer, in another computer. Windows is nice isnt it ?

I was tempted to troll your post beyond the hellgate where Celebras feasts on souls of man, and Caronte charges a fee to take them to Hell, but i see that you did it with the best of intentions. Ill try to add a tip. There are several routers nowadays that have USB ports to share printers. And relative cheap printers with network or WIFI imbedded. Than means you dont need to keep 1 PC always on sharing a printer. And that should avoid diferent workgroup problems ( even in small LANs) that may arise.

Do i get a cookie ?
