- Hi,
-
- [ Sorry for my bad English ]
-
- I need a progam, that allows me to share a printer by two PC's.
-
- That is my idea ...:
-
- Both PC's are running WINDOWS-3.1. The Printer is connected to PC1/lpt1
- and PC2/lpt1 should be connected to PC1/lpt2 (see picture below :-)
-
-
- +--------------+ +--------------+
- | PC1 | | PC2 |
- | | | |
- | lpt1 lpt2 | | lpt1 |
- +---o------o---+ +---o----------+
- | | |
- | | |
- | +------------------+
- |
- +----o----+
- | Printer | lpt1/2 = parallel interface
- +---------+
-
- The programm, which I need, should run on PC1 in background.
- It should collect all data from lpt2. After a timeout period
- (receiving no data for a configurable time) the program should
- start a printout via WINDOWS-3.1 print manager.
-
- Is there a (shareware) program availabe doing this?
-
- Thanks, Waldemar
