Hi,
I want to be able to print to a printer connected to a printer in another
location.
I want to do this without spending much (or any) money if possible.
Both machines have modems and phone lines attached.
Is it possible to set up a printer on the first machine so that when printed
to it dials the second computer and prints on the printer connected to it?
Thanks,
Sean
 
Hi Sean,

Not sure if this is possible. You might find a solution on the Internet. But here is something you
can try. I know that if you set your print job to print to the Fax Printer, it will dial out. Ok, so that's
one half. Now it can dial the other modem that is connected to the printer on the other end and
should send the print job.

This is not officially supported but the above may work with Microsoft Fax. You may have ot
install the fax printer as it is not installed by default.

Thanks,
Gary
