1. ensure file and printer sharing is setup on the relevant system (I
think it may be by default in XP)
2. select the folder to "export" and set a share name (with password
control if required)
3. do the same with the Epson, and on the alternate computer, find the
Epson share via network neigborhood. double click the printer and
install the software.
However, I have not been able to get a CX5200 shared between two 98SE
systems as a printer nor as a scanner. I had to resort to a USB switch
so that the printer is "attached" to one of the computers at a time -
not an option if the systems are more than 10 metres apart (USB cable
limitation).
For sharing to work successfully, you also need to use the same
workgroup name on both systems (preferably not the default).
