no - this is not what I explained.
... overall I seem not to have explained to well.
My issue is not to SHARE a Printer(-Driver) from a Windows Computer to another one.
My issue is to share a Printer-DEVICE from the Network.
I have 3 Ethernet Devices:
1 Ethernet PC1 (XP)
2 Ethernet PC2 (Vista)
3 Ethernet Printer-Box, with USB Printer Attached
PC1 and PC2 are NOT BOTH running.
If I work on PC1, I want to Print & Scan (while PC2 does NOT run)
If I work on PC2, I want to Print & Scan (while PC1 does NOT run)
This is the reason, why I bought this Print-Box - otherwise I could have easily SHARED the Windows Printer for all Networked PCs, of course.
Now - ALL works fine for PRINTING to this Printer over the networked Print-Box.
But - It does not work for SCANNING.
Any Idea if I can SCAN from a Photosmart C4280 that is connected to a Ethernet Switch over a Print-Box (I would by any other Print-Box if this would help...)
Thanks for help.
