Since the printer isn't connected to your Win98SE computer, you can't
tell it to use the Win98SE computer's LPT1 port for the printer. LPT1
is your printer's parallel port, and the printer isn't connected to
your computer's parallel port.

This should get everything working:

1. Un-install the printer on the Win98SE computer.

2. Run the "Add Printer" wizard.

3. Tell it to install a network printer.

4. When it asks for the network path or queue name, press the Browse
button and locate the shared printer on the other computer.

You haven't got any advice to offer on my network printer prob have you
? no-ones responded yet

I have a network printer that my computer says "cannot be found" when I
try and print. It's installed fine, shared name is sub 12 char and no
spaces, I browsed to it ok using add network printer procedure.
Everything picks it up until I try to print. Tried two different brand
printers as well, so it's a prob with the setup somewhere, not the
actual printer.

Full description under post 'Network probs; "The printer could not be
found"'.
