Can a printer be shared between client boxes on NT 4.0 Server domain?

[Leon Willard]

We have a small network of Win2K Pro boxes (10-15 clients) connected to an
NT Server domain as members of the domain. We have several printers and
plotters connected through print servers that work on the network just fine.

On two of the Win2K client boxes, we have a printer connected to their
parallel or USB port. My question is this: Is there a way to share those
printers with one or two of the other client machines without having to
install more print servers?

Thanks. Leon

Share the printer from the Win 2k box. Browse to the shared printer from the
box that will use the shared printer. Right click on the printer and select
connect.

Yes you can share them but due to W2K Pro's hardcoded 10-client limit you
won't be able to have more than 10 PC's use the printer on each PC.
