I'm trying to set up 2-3 machines with multiple users to use one printer
connected to a 4th machine. All of these machines are part of a LAN.
I'm running Win XP pro on all machines. I can set up one user on a machine
but then the next user on the same machine can't see the printer. I have done
this with W2000 in the past by setting up a global printer in DOS, but I
can't find that procedure now. Is there any other way to do this? I don't
want to have to buy a print server. This is in a school, so I have a couple
of classrooms to set up.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks, I've tried this. I failed to mention that the printer is set up as a
local printer on one machine. Will this tip still work?
