Here is a suggestion to the problem of printer sharing. I haven't tried it with HP printers, so I don't know for sure if it will work, but if the HP printer driver insists on wanting to print to lpt1, then let it. To get it to forward to a network printer, open the properties for the printer, click on the "Details" tab, and select "Capture Printer Port". This will make the driver think it is printing to lpt1, but by entering the network path to the actual location, Windows 95 will re-direct it to the network printer. This has worked for me for other types of printers (most useful when you need to make a DOS application in a DOS box or full screen DOS session print to a network printer).
