Hi Gregory,
OK. What may be happening here is that you are focussing on trying to get a
parallel port printer to act as a network printer and bypassing the real
goal...to use your networked computer to get to the locally connected
printer through your other networked computer. Instead of re-inventing the
wheel, I'm going to direct you to a detailed article on how to make this
happen. Follow the procedure and get back to the list on whether this
resulted in any success.
