Network Printer Access
I have shared out my WINXP computer printer on my home network. But, I an
unable to add or even see this computer on the home network from my WINME computer. From the WINME computer I can see shared out directories on my XP machine...just can't see the printer. Any ideas? Russ

I meant to say I cannot see the WINXP shared printer from the WINME
computer. I can see and print to this shared printer from another XP computer on the same home network.

Check the 'share name' of the printer on the XP box.
Make sure it's 12 characters or less, only letters and numbers - no odd characters like spaces etc. Good: 'HP600' Bad: 'Design Jet 600 by HP' -- Ron "Russ" wrote in message . ..
