Title: Is it possible to share the printer HP PSC 1110?
Post by: Naruto on May 06, 2004, 01:10

Hiya peepz,

dunno whether I've put this topic in the right section or not.
I bought a new printer, and it's connected to my pc with usb.
I've tried to share the printer over network, but unfortuntalye without result.
I've been wondering whether it is possible to share an usb printer over the network?
Can someone help me pls?

Greetz,

It should be possible.
I think that you have to have the software installed on any pc that will use it though and then you should be able to enable it to be shared  :)

What operating system are you running?

If its XP, you need to go to the control panel, printers, right click the printer, click sharing and enable sharing over the network.

If you can share PC's over the network you should be able to share printers. The PC that the printer is attached to, needs to be switched on for the printer to be shared.

Hope that helps

Thnx for the help :)
It seems that I connected the printer on the wrong port.
I redirected the port and it's working now :P
My bad, but thx for your efforts :D
