Hi, I am in need of a solution to be able to use my printer with both my susue and my xp box and my laptop. It's a parallel port model (brother 1040) and works great with suse. I have tried using a switch box but no luck. The switch box works otherwise. Any Ideas? Chris
If all of your machines are networked, I'd say set it up as a shared printer (sharing it on the WinXP machine would probably be easiest, although you could share it on the Linux box using Samba) then just set it up as a networked printer going to the shared printer name...
I do this at home with the two Windows machines and one Linux box.
No they aren't networked I don't have the need. Also I like to keep my win machines away from my suse incase they give it wind (or something nastier) Chris
