Yes, attached to my wife's parallel port. If I can get my situation
working I might be able to help on the XP thing. Sorry.
We used to use the router, which had a parallel port attached to it and
it became a print server, but she had to use the printer as a scanner,
so bye-bye to that. <boy am I glad i spent the extra couple bucks on
that now useless feature>
I'm not sure if there's a way to do it without an IP, but to me it would
seem like you need the 2 computers connected some how.

When you say "Attached to my wife's laptop", do you mean it's attached to
the parallel port? I have an HP1100 connected (LPT1) to and shared on a
Windoze XPee machine and can't get to it whatsoever from my Linux laptop.
Linux see's the printer in LinNeighborhood, but I can't mount it, and YaST
doesn't see it at all.
I'd realize I can configure the printer using IP, but then I have to get a
JetDirect box. Is there a way to configure this printer to share
Linux/Windoze without using IP? If there's documentation on this, it's not
from SuSe.
