This is a video of how to print to a shared printer on a Windows 9x machine (95/98/ME) using either a parallel port printer, USB printer, and so on (must be compatible with Windows 95/98/ME), and share files and folders on a Windows 9x machine to an MS-DOS computer using key software and drivers: 1. MS-DOS Workgroups Add-On 2. Your Network Card drivers (must be compatible with MS-DOS: a RealTek RTL8139 or an Intel Pro/100 PCI would work, or older ISA/PCMCIA NICs would work very well) 3. Use NetBEUI on both the Windows 9x machine and MS-DOS PC 4. Set up file and printer sharing on the Windows 9x PC (you must have the CD/Floppy/Floppies handy to install both the NetBEUI protocol and the File and Printer Sharing service) 5. Restart your Windows 9X pc and install the MS-DOS Workgroups Add-On in MS-DOS, use the same username and password for both the Windows 9X PC and MS-DOS PC, restart your DOS PC after configuring a hostname, username, and Workgroup (Must be the same, otherwise the computers won't see each other) 6a. after the installation is done, edit, and configure the software and shares (type in net) 6b. examples of share names map drive - E:\, share: \\W98-PC\SHARE, reconnect? yes, and push Alt + C 6c. examples of share names port: LPT1, share: \\W98-PC\HP, reconnect? yes, and push Alt + C (push Alt + S to switch between printers and file sharing) 7. Verify connectivity by creating a file in MS-DOS Edit and save to the mapped drive (share must be set to full access), and print by clicking File ... Print ... Entire Document ...
