Sharing a Printer

by lawton34 Mar 21, 2006 10:57PM PST

My girlfriend and I each have a 98se computer that is connected to a router (wired), that is connected to a DSL modem from the phone co. What I would like to know is there a way to share a printer without sharing files?

I don't use win98 right now, go to the networking menu, in the control panel..

you will find a choices, something similar to this:

share the printer only
share files and printer ....

I'm not really sure the exact word, but you will see what I mean...

OR just don't share any folder...
