Default My Network Places 'gone'; unable to add network printer

The PC is using Windows ME. The printer is an Epson Stylus Photo R200.

I will try your suggestion of installing it as a Local printer and
redirecting it to the network.

Thanks.

It's impossible to tell which OS you're using - Min ME is not really capable
of using Network printers - but if the software support is available for
your printer, you can install it as 'Local', and then redirect it to the
network - what is the make/model of your printer?

I am trying to connect to a network printer but, when I click Add Printer,
there is no prompt to choose local or network printer; it goes right to
the
list of mfrs and printer models (as if I have already selected Local).

Also, when I click the "My Network Places" link in Windows Explorer,
nothing
happens.

Internet access is working fine so, the PC is 'on' the network.
