	This confuses me. It reads as if the problem were using several 
printers from one machine.

	Not so. I have only one printer, but I need to be able to use it 
from at least four machines -- the PCs at my desk. (If I can eventually 
also use it from the wireless laptops a/o from my wife's PC downstairs 
(all of them on the LAN, at least when at home and booted), so much the 
better.)

	Are we at cross-purposes? Or am I just imagining so?
