Can't see shared printer on network
Hello all.
On a 98SE machine I am trying to access a network printer that is hooked up to an XP machine. File and printer sharing is enabled, of course. Both PCs are on the MSHOME network. I can see both machines from the other one, and can access shared folders both ways. I have installed the (additional) 98SE drivers on the host PC. No firewalls are running. Yet when I go to the printer installation screen the printer never shows up (although the PC name is visible). It's been a while since I last used 98SE. Can someone point me in the right direction, please? Thanks, Erik |

Because you on a 9x PC, ensure the printer name has no spaces in it and is
less than 12 letters/numbers. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "Erik" wrote in message ... Hello all.
