    Hi

    I have a Samsung ML-1210 printer and I want to connect it to two computers.

    Is it possible to do this? (even though its not a network printer)


    heres a link showing how the back of the printer looks:

    is there some sort of special cable i can use?

    Thanks in advance!

    well you can network the printer via the windows interface, although the prints may have to load before they print it still works:)

    alternatively you can run this setup on the computer your trying to network,

    remember the group name should be left at default aka MSHOME!
    run this setup on the computer with the printer you want to share AND the computers you want to have access to print

    once you have followed the setup and selected the required fields as they pertain to your setup.....

    1) then restart the computer

    2) after that go start> control panel> printers/other hardware or printers> select the option "add a printer" follow the wizard and if the computer with the printer is on it will pick up the printer and install the drivers:)

    best of luck
