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
