It only needs to be shared if all the other computers are printing via that share. Since they AREN'T, it doesn't need to be shared. the printer supports lpd, ipp/http, jetdirect, and probably a handful of other printing protocols, so it contains its own spool manager and works just peachy when all computers print directly to it. it spends about 99.999% of its time sitting idle. we don't print much here, and I doubt we've ever had two different systems printing to it at the same time. but even if we did, it would be expected to work fine, given its internal print spooling implementations. > > > > I ran the troubleshooter and it did not turn up anything helpful. > > > > every computer in the house as well as a couple of laptops all print to it > > as an IPP printer, successfully (from various versions of LInux and also > > from Windoze XP).
