I would like to configure a printer connected directly to a parallel port
(not via a print server) to be available from a client computer. How do I
set up the host printer in XP?
 
This might be a little difficult! The printer is connected to a PC parallel
port? If so, the PC becomes the printer server via the share function. The
other possibility is to use an adapter (either ethernet or wireless) that
connects the printer to the lan. The "How to" instructions and supporting
software generally come with the adapter. I use one of the ethernet adapters
with a Canon S750. Works ok, with an occasional printer not ready message if
the printer monitor is enabled. (Close the monitor window, and printing
proceeds)
