PrinterAnywhere, enough said

Ever had trouble installing a home network or tried to get your laptop computer to print to your desktop's printer, to no avail? Well, in the event that you aren't a network administrator (most people aren't) and can easily fix this problem yourself, PrinterAnywhere is here to help. The software works by having you establish a username and password, then allows you to setup the client on both your PC's, including the remote printer name. This way, you bypass networking issues and are able to print documents over the connection made by the client. The nice thing is that you don't need to have the remote printer's drivers installed on your laptop, so long as your desktop has them installed, you're all set. It prints quickly, as if you had your laptop computer connected directly to the printer via cable. This is an interesting piece of free software, currently in beta. Now, I know what you're thinking, "why not just get a wireless card or wireless print server?" The answer is yes, that would be easier for some people. However, networking issues aside, one of the ideas behind PrinterAnywhere is that you can print documents to a friend's computer at a distance.
