Share a printer and files among your computers

Windows 98 Second Edition allows you to gain maximum efficiency out of your best and fastest printer by sharing it on your network. Once you've hooked up your home network, all the print jobs from the household's computers can be routed to any printer on the network. If you have a new high-resolution color printer, this allows everyone in the family to enjoy its photo-like print quality.

In addition, you can also permit others to see and share your computer files. This is especially handy if two or more people are contributing to the same project. For example, your kids can view the photos you took with the digital camera and send them to their grandparents via e-mail.  Or each family member can easily contribute to your holiday letter to friends and relatives. All the files can be stored on one computer. Or you can simply extract files stored on all the networked computers.

Find out how to ready your computer for sharing a printer.

Keep it ship-shape and tidy with the mess-free new network adapters.
