ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for establishing communication to a remote peripheral device over a network. The method includes issuing a request to use a peripheral device to a remote communications dynamically linked list, and determining whether the peripheral device is a local peripheral device or a remote peripheral device. The method further includes sending the request over a network to a remote computer that has a server application when the peripheral device is the remote peripheral device. The server application is configured to enable sharing of peripheral devices that are connected to the remote computer. Preferably, the system registry of the computer making the request is altered to enable efficient communication with the remote peripheral device.
