   person has a computer running ubuntu 9.04 as 
well as a computer running windows xp and a hp 
laserjet 5M that is connected directly to a third 
computer running windows xp but is unusably slow. 

   i want to disable the unusably slow computer and 
have the person use the ubuntu computer primarily 
(have already transferred contacts from old slow 
windows computer to ubuntu computer and have 
configured evolution to do email, which works). 

   the problem is that the person continues to use 
windows because of the printer.
