These are the steps to allow a computer to access a printer
connected to another computer on the network. They assume the
printer is already connected and working with the computer
connected to the printer and that the printer is assigned as
shared at the other computer. Note that serial printers are not
sharable.

C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Add the statement:
SET JSP=C
(For Windows ME you have to add the environmental variable JSP
with a value of C - ask your computer tech how to do that)
and save the file. Now re-start the computer.
