    Does anybody know if there are any decent freeware print servers?

    Scenario:
    -[PC A] 1 PC on network with attached printer an on workgroup abc
    -[PC B] Laptop configured for UCD domain - on network via 802.11g
    -[PC C] Laptop configured for TCD domain - on network via 802.11g
    -All PCs using Windows XP
    -All machines can ping each other

    Objective:
    -To allow [PC B] and [PC C] to share the printer on [PC A] *without* removing [PC B] and [PC C ] from their respective domains; and to not spend money on a h/w network print server.

    It may slow up the PC somewhat, but can you not enable File and Printer Sharing, share out the printer to everyone, then connect to the PC via ip from the other machines, e.g.
    \\192.168.1.2\
    And install the printer?
