We'll be setting up a small non-networked office of 4 computers (Win 95 OSR
2.1) and two printers (HP LaserJet 1100xi).  At my site, we've taken it for
granted that all locations have some kind of network connection but this is
new to me.  What is the best way to share printers (and possibly other
resources) in this kind of environment?  I'm looking at switch boxes but I
don't have much experience in using them, much less what is the best kind.
One way of doing this is to use a switch box and then some kind of line
extenders on each PC (uses a "tranceiver" with a parallel connection on one
side and an RJ-11 on the other).

Any ideas on how I should do this?  Should I look in a different direction?
 There will be no server and creating some kind of ethernet is not an option.

Any information would be appreciated.
