Hi Aztek

Your printer doesn't need a NIC (ethernet card) to share printing.

When you have your peer-to-peer (aka Local Area Network [LAN]) set up, and your file/print sharing enabled, you should be able to just go to Start/Settings/Printers then, Add Printer.

The Wizard will open and you'll have an option of Network Printer and it should be an easy go from there. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

You *do* need a NIC in each computer and a CAT5 crossover cable to network 2 computers.
