Printing
I have a little home network, connected through a gateway. There are 3 PC -
1 XP, 1 W2K and 1 Win98SE. The W2K PC is having no trouble at printing from the shared printer on the XP machine but the W98 machine does not see the printer at all. Both machines have access to the XP machine through the firewall. The printer is shared on the XP machine. I have the right drivers for the printer although I haven't been able to get as far as installing the drivers on the W98 machine. I have additional W98 drivers enabled in the printer setup on the XP machine but they are greyed out and I cannot amend them (???). Any ideas anyone Ta

Any ideas anyone Ta Make sure that the printer's share name isn't longer than 12 characters. If it is, W98 won't be able to see it. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
