connect the printer to one computer. then share the printer. now your other computer (when connected via the network) will be able to see the printer and print from it (keep in mind the computer connected to the printer needs to be on).

no you don't need a usb hub. get a router to connect your two computers together via local area network, then your computers will be connected and can share printers

so, do you know how to do it with a hub? because i do not know if i can use a router, where i'm going it's not allowed (grr...). but if worse comes to worst, i'll use the router, i guess.

both of the times i had to blow out the customer's 2 computers, i don't think i had to load a driver for it or not. these are win98se machines so if using xp might load it's own driver than hopefully you'll be on the net

yes, i know. i just figured it might be different setting up a network with an usb hub than with a router. it's a good thing it's not!
