I would like to know if it's possible to share a printer between two computers that are right next to each other. We have been just taking the cable out of one, and pluging it into the other, but is there an easier way?
My Computer
The is the newest. It has windows XP, and a plug for a network cable (i think) at the back.
The Other One
The is about 5-6 years old. It has windows 98, and no networks plug thing.
Would it be possible to share a printer either over the internet, or through a USB cable, (or someother way) without buying extra hardware such as a printer server?
Thanks - if it's not possible, then I'll just have to keep swapping the cable
