Can't install new network printer on Win 98SE computer
I have a Win98SE computer on a wireless network with a WinXPSP2 computer.
The router and cable modem and printers are all attatched to the Win XPSP2 computer. I just attached a HP Laserjet 1320 printer to the XP machine. When I tried to install the HP Laserjet 1320 as a new network printer on the Win98SE machine, it asked me to identify the manufacturer and the model of the printer, but all the HP models listed were made years ago and the HP Laserjet 1320 is not on the list. How can I complete the add new printer process on the Win 98SE machine so that it can see and use the HP Laserjet 1320 attached to the WinXPSP2 machine? Thanks for your help. |

You need to install it as a networked printer, not a local printer; and
install the Windows 98 drivers on the Windows XP computer using the option on the printer sharing tab in Windows XP. -- Richard G.

Richard,
Is the HP LaserJet 1320 even networkable? I purchased an HP LaserJet 1012, networked it, had difficulties, it resulted in a support call to HP, and they said that printer won't work as a shared printer. Now I'm in the market for a new LaserJet, I see the 1320, and I'm wondering if it will work when it's shared on a network; the descriptions I see don't say either way. If my best bet is to call HP, so be it, but I just wanted to see if someone has any insight, or if there's a site that lists all printers that do/don't network. I hope this info helps TLMcGrew, too.

It looks to be networkable, since a JetDirect network card is an option for
the printer. :-) -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] * PLEASE post all messages and replies in the newsgroups * for the benefit of all.

Right, it's an OPTION. So let's say I don't get the 1320n, I just get
the base 1320. I go to the office, install it to my computer like the instructions tell me to, share it on our network as HP1320, then what?? Will it work, or will it be sketchy? That's the problem I had with the 1012; it was sketchy, and that was because HP told me it doesn't like to be a shared printer on a small network. Am I making any sense at all? Until recently, I assumed that ALL printers were sharable on a network using Windows XP Pro, but with the my latest findings, I have to question that assumption. Have I described this scenario any better? Thank you for your response! "Richard G. Harper" wrote in message ...
