Fedora to Fedora printer sharing

DoctorWynn · 11-25-2005, 11:45 AM

Ok, I've searched the forums for how to network a printer between 2 fedora boxes, but all I can find is info on linux with windows printers and vice versa.

All I want to do, is allow my Fedora Core 4 based box to be able to print on my sons parallel printer which is attached to an identical box (Fedora Core 4). The printer works with his machine, but I can't figure out for the life of me, how to print on his printer from my Fedora box. Our wireless network is running as far as his computer using the internet from my router, but I'm not sure if I can see his computer from mine (and vice versa).

Is there a good doc already written on this subject that DOESN'T include how to connect to windoze machines? Cuz I don't need to know that part.

Thanx!
