Printer & apps sharing w/ 2 computers & Win95
A friend called me today and was wondering if there is an inexpensive way to network 2 computers together to (1) share a printer installed on one machine; and (2) to install apps on the same machine that can also be run off of the other machine.
Where the problem lies is that, while my friend has a copy of Windows NT Server 4.0, there are apparently no NT drivers for the printer, so he wants to run the main machine with Windows 95. Is it possible to use Direct Cable Connection and File & Print Sharing to solve the first problem? And, is there any way to solve the second problem?
Any recommendations or suggestions would be helpful. I mainly work with stand-alone machines, so I have limited understanding of what may work in a networking situation.
