I have an old windows 95 computer networked with this one. I want to be
able to print onto a HP Deskjet 825c printer which is connected to this
windows xp computer. Anyone know how I could do this?
 
1.Share the printer from the XP machine.
Go Start--Settings--Printers and Faxes
Right click the printer and select Sharing
Click the button to share it, accept the default sharename or change it to
something you like


2. Add the printer on the 95 machine.
Open Control Panel--Printers
Click Add Printer
Select Network Printer
For Network path or quename either browse fro the printer or use
\\computername\sharename
Then select the driver, you need to either have this on the CD that came
with printer or download it from HP.
I am pretty sure win95 doesn't have a driver for it.
A couple more ok's and it is done

Mark Dormer
