Win 98 to 98 printing
Hello,
I am having a problem with printing from one Win98 SE to another Win98 SE client. This was working at one time and appears to be becoming more wide spread on our network. Shared printers on Win 98 CLients are not asking for IPC$ password. These are just 98 client to 98 client machines. Yes file and print sharing is enabled and yes it did work in the past. I have unshared and reshared the printer..uninstalled and reinstalled networking ....file and print sharing. Been through all the post and some get close but then they always appear to be about WIn XP and 98 client communication and sharing. Again this has been working all along and just seems to have changed recently but I can not link it to any changes as we have made none. Please any help would be great. jamie |

Win 98 to 98 printing
First determine if there is a problem with local printing on this computer.
Low disk space is one possible cause of slow printing. See this article for step by step troubleshooting: HOW TO: Troubleshoot Printing Problems in Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Millennium Edition http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=128345 If local printing is without problem, then see this article for network issues.

Win 98 to 98 printing
Patty,
Thanks...I did the basic troubleshooting prior to posting. Yes I can print locally from the machine that has the printer connected directly. This issue id the IPC$ share I can initially connect to the printer and print fine from another pc but then upon trying to print again later I get prompted for the IPC$ share password. The IPC$ Share is Inter-Process Communication it is used for data sharing between applications and computers, typically there is no user interaction with this share.
