Why cn't you just network share the printer and add the shard printer as the
default for the second pc?

news:b3**************************@posting.google.c om... I'm now using vb.net to write a POS system with a epson thermal
printer. I use the ocx that provided by Epson to drive the printer.
It's not the problem if I just using 1 computer vs 1 thermal printer.
But now I need to use 2 computer vs 1 thermal, how can another
computer use the same printer? I wonder I can send the print request
and content to the computer which connecting to the printer by TCP/IP,
but I don't know how to do that!
Actually I'm now using network share to share the printer, but when
using network i need to use the printer driver to drive it which it
make the printing speed become very very slow(10 secs printing time).
In order to speed it up, Epson technical support suggest me to use ocx
to drive the printer(2 secs printing time). That's why I have this
question. Thanks
