[wellylug] printer sharing problem

Hi Colin,

If you make the printer a shared printer on windows (you'll have to do
this as an administrator), then it will make it available to all the
windows pc's on the network.  You just either browse the network on the
other pc's to connect to the one with the shared printer, or add a new
printer select network printer, and browse to the pc that has the
printer attached.
