Printer Share
Hello All,
I have a small home network. A d-link router with a XP pro box and a 98SE on hardwires, and a W2K machine via wireless. I am able to see, share, and change files between all 3 machines and all 3 can access the internet. I have a Lexmark 6150 shared from the XP box. (It is connected via USB if it matters) I can access the printer from the W2K box. Everything is working great except for 1 final task. I am unable to install the shared 6150 printer to my 98SE box. I can see the shared printer in my workgroup and can start the "add printer" using that share. But when it comes time to actually find the printer from inside the wizard, it fails to find it. I have tried adding it from the add hardware wizard too with no luck. ADDITIONAL INFO: When I try to add the 9x print drivers thru the "additional printer drivers" wizard on the XP box, I get errors. "there are no drivers for the environment you are requesting located here" or "unable to install Lexmark 6100 series, intel, windows 95, 98, and ME driver. Operation could not be completed" I know these are the correct 9x drivers for the printer and that they downloaded correctly. If I try to download them to the XP box from "setup", they are trying to overwrite the XP peint drivers in my C:\Lxk6100 folder. I think that will only result in the wrong drivers for the printer being installed on the XP box ............ won't it? Any and all suggestions or info pages are welcome. If possible please write me directly at " Thanks in advance !! Jeff PS/ no trees were destroyed to post this However millions of electrons were terribly inconvenienced |
