can't seem to do that either. I'm almost ready to give up -- maybe ME
and XP are not that compatible.


That you are having difficulties in installing a printer driver has
nothing to do with whether Win Me and XP are compatible, all the more so
since the two operating systems are running on two different PCs and
communication between the two will be by whatever protocol you have chosen
to use, by default TCP/IP.

Yes, but it first asks to pick a printer.


I'm not asked that here other than of course having to select the network
printer that I'm trying to install. I open the Add Printer wizard, click
the network printer radio button, click Next, in the next window I browse
to the printer I want to add, click Next, the hardware information
database loads up and I'm then presented with a list of printer
manufacturer's and printers. Without selecting either a manufacturer or
printer (although I note that Agfa and AgfaAccuSet 1000 are highlighted) I
then click Have Disk and follow the prompts from there.

a driver for that printer. I proceed anyway and get error messages
that it can't find certain files.

I've also checked on my desktop where I selected to share the printer
to see if other drivers are loaded and tried to insert my
installation CD in hopes that it would find the driver for ME. But
can't seem to do that either. I'm almost ready to give up -- maybe ME
