HI:

I have a big problem. I'm trying to set up a network printer. Not so
hard. But I have to print from 3.1 95 98...can somone tell me how I
can do this. I have not bought a printer yet. I do have net access
so I can assign a data port for the printer

if someone can recommend a printer that would be great

for what sort of work? low use? high use? photos? no photos? you already
have a scanner? ie you want a pure printer or something combined??

If memory serves me right, Win 3.1 can be used as a print server (share)
that other OS's can print to. I'm not sure but I don't think it can
print to a TCP/IP port. You could load IPX on all the machines and get
an Ethernet print sharer that supports IPX; I'm pretty sure that works.
Ditto DLC.
