Why may I want to do so?
Although sharing a printer is not the main purpose of a Router/Firewall, in some cases the PC that is running BrazilFW is the only one that is on all the time, and if it has a parallel port why not?
What may I need?
- A floppy of BrazilFW WORKING PROPERLLY!
- 25KB free in this floppy
- The parallel port and printers modules package. (You may download it here)
- The sharing printer package. (You may download it here)
How to install?
- Download the two packages above (lp.tgz e p910nd.tgz) and copy them to yours BrazilFW floppy and boot it.
- Plug your printer(s) into BrazilFW. Those packages supports till 3 printers once you have enough parallel ports.
How to use?
