Fastest cheapest way to share a printer

[fozzy]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Basically as title. I need to know the fastest, and cheapest way to share a printer between two computers. Is it just a case of a crossover cable and that's it?

Ahh, almost forgot, one machine runs winXP and one runs win2000.

Thank yee.

Just network the two computers, install the printer on one of them and then use printer sharing. It would be the easiest and cheapest.

If you don't have a network or cannot afford a router, a crossover cable will allow you to directly network the two computers together.

Thanks for that, i was hoping that would be the answer
