Question

I have 2 computers networked and sharing a dsl connection to Internet. I only have 1 printer, but I always seem to be on the wrong computer when I need to print something. I find it a pain to have to turn on the other computer just to print. I've heard print servers can be expensive, it would be cheaper to buy another printer nowadays. Any suggestions? Just wondering.

Just leave the computer on with the printer shared or get another printer. The day you need a print server (its own network card) is the day you need to buy office space.
