How to share a printer with 30 computers without having problem like inbound connection limit ?

I've tried Win98 and WinXP. Both having same problem like inbound connection limit. It can only share to 10 computers. I would like to try DOS but I have no clue how to do it.

Hi,

You can try running this script from a command prompt (run/command/enter) then type: net config server /autodisconnect:time_before_autodisconne...

Change the auto disconnect time from 15 minutes to 5 minutes or whatever you want. Since you aren't going to be able to get more than 10 connections at a time this will increase the availability of the printer.

I am assuming that this printer is connected to another computer on your network acting as a print server. This is partly the problem as well. If you had a printer that was network capable, connecting 1 or 100 shouldn't be a problem.

Good Luck!

Are you sharing it locally through a pc or are you using a print server, and adding it as it's own individual networked device? If you have a network setup, you should have it connected to a print server, that should take care of your inbound problem. If you have it attached to a pc, and then sharing it through that pc, may not be the best for optimal performance.
You can't because a printer has a limit on how many computers it can have on one printer on, but if you use DOS, you should be able to do it.
