Yes I include the installation files on the CD I provide. Those who get receipt printers, just install from the CD. I also include registry files they can double-click on instead of going through the OPOS Setup. I have a reg file for a COM1, COM2 and LPT1 connection. YOu can create these registry entries whether you have the printer or not. Once you create a COM1 entry through the OPOSSetup, just go to the registry and export this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OLEforRetail\ServiceOPOS\POSPrinter

You should be able to have a printer shared between 2 computers. You just need a special "Y" printer cable. The Claim function/method for the ActiveX control will prevent the other PC from stomping on you. Just put the CLAIM() call in a loop until it is successful. It will not be successful until the other computer CLOSEs the "claim". You can check the CLAIMED property until it is false.
