Printer sharing...

[puzzled186]

I've been trying to share a printer that's attached to my PC (PCMAIN)
with my son's PC (PCSON). I go thru the whole wizard thing to create
a home network using a router and create a floppy. Bring the floppy
over to PCSON and run it there.

I can see PCSON just fine from PCMAIN, but PCSON cannot see PCMAIN.
When I'm on PCSON and go thru Add a Printer it recoginizes the
network, but nothing on the network.

What am I doing wrong. BTW, PCSON has no problem accessing the
internet via the home network.

thnx

have you gone to the printer in question and enable printer sharing in its
properties? if you have not enabled sharing it will not be visible to other
pc's.

I should have originially indicated that, yes I had selected the
printer and turned on printer sharing.

Thanx.
