SubscribeBill Gates, I hate you.
Three to four hours and I still can’t get a couple of stupid windows XP computers to share a printer nicely. Got a wireless broadband router today that works perfectly, so we can use both computers online at the same time. Supposedly you can easily share a printer as well. The liars. So much for [...]
