2 PCs, one printer?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.bluetooth (More info?)

Hello,

is it particularly difficult / unusual to connect 2 PCs to one printer
(using an BT<->Centronic adapter) using BT?

Both PCs should be able to print if the other PC is switched off (which
should be trivial, I guess); both PCs should be able to print when both
PCs are switched *on*, as well - without one of the PCs having to spool
print jobs of the other PC.

If it matters, the one machine runs Win2k, the other one Linux. Printer is
a HP LJ 4L.

Are the answers on this dependent on how expensive the BT pieces are -
i.e., is everything standardized and "working" enough to just buy the
cheapest PC USB BT sticks, and the cheapest printer BT adapter available,
or is it worth to search for reports beforehand?

Thanks, Ekkehard
