I have a computer running windows 95 with a printer attatched to it. I would liek to also be able to print to this printer with a Windows 3.1 machine. Is it possible to get nprint to work on a 95 machine? I know Ive seen a windows 95 program similar to nprint which was inlcuded with netware 4, is this program avaialble for netware 3? Thanks
 
Try using rprinter. Unfortunately it runs as a TSR in DOS.
 
I have gotten arround this with setting up windows networking.. load the Microsoft client and file and print services, then in the access control box, choose share level access.. Then you can go to the printer and right click on it and even restrict use to certain users... Let me know if I have confused the situation at all. I always found this way easier than using rprinter.
