If you have your network properly configured, No, you shouldn't have to hop
from one Mac to another:-) You should be able to select, open & print the
docs on one system while working from the other... That's what *networking*
is all about;-)

Sorry Bob,

But this is exactly the problem. The poster has only one license which
prohibits 2 machines on the same network from running Office at the same
time. If the printer is connected to only the desktop, (yes, I agree the
network may not be properly configured) while working on the laptop on a
Word document, the user will have to get the document from the laptop to the
desktop via save as, or a finder copy. Close Word on the lap top, go to the
desk top, start word and print the document.
