Reply: (edit)Yes she can. Set your printer as a shared printer from the Properties menu of the printer. For that you need to make sure File and Print Sharing is Turned on. From the Win98 computer, select install new printer. Choose Network Printer and select the Printer when it is displayed. You will need to have Win98 printer drivers ready in order to install the printer. You sister will then be able to use the printer providing your computer is turned on. It doesn't have to be logged in, just turned on. Stuart
