Hi Jan.

There's absolute no reason for apologies. You came here an wanted to 
help, and this is very fine, and I'm glad you did.
Of course you thought what you thought it would help. Thats the point.

What I have done now is to hook my Deskjet printer on one computer, and 
my Brother HL-5040 on another computer.
Now to most smart way, but at the present I don't feel for using money 
for a HP JetDirect printerserver.
