Our home network consistes of 1 machine downstairs and 2 upstairs. I currently have one printer on the network which we all use. I have just had an old HP 840c given to me and thought it would be ideal to use as a second printer on the network rather than keep using the photoprinter.

I have connected the printer to one of the machines upstairs with a standard serial port cable, that machine can print okay. However I cannot get either of the 2 other machines (1 downstairs and the other upstairs) to see it. I can go through to add printer on my machine downsatirs and see that there is a small + sign by the side of the named machine upstairs. Whilst I can drop down to select the existing printer no problem, it will not let me expand from the second machine to select the HP

Any ideas anyone
