I have a network and a printer (set up as local printer), how do I set this up to be a network printer? Do I need to reinstall it? Or can I just reset some of the settings? Thanks all
JJ

It's exactly like it was in Win95....

Go to the Network applet of the Control Panel

Click on the "File and Print Sharing..." button

Check "I want to be able to allow others to print to my printer(s)."

It'll load some file from the cabs

reboot.

When you're booted back up, open Printers

right click on the printer you want to share

from there, it's pretty self explanatory.
The printers printing to this computer over the network will require the printer drivers to use the printer.
