I have two machines in my office. My laser printer is connected to the
Win2000 machine. My system running XP is on the same network. I want to be
able to print from my XP PC through the network (Win2000 PC).

Is there a driver that I need to download into the Win2000 machine to make
this happen? If so, where can I find it?

Anything else I need to do?

Thanks much!

Open up the network connection details on the machine with the printer and
check is File and Printer Sharing installed.

If it it is, its just a case of right clicking on the printer and sharing
the printer

If it isnt install it as a service and off you go
