Sharing a printer question Lynn 12/30/2008 7:38:19 PM Silly question but I'm going to ask it anyhow If you have a local printer setup on a machine and you share the printer does the machine the printer is physically connected need to be on in order to print? Someone doesn't need to be logged in but the PC at least needs to be on correct? sorry for the lame question but I just wanted to verify Thanks
