Printing from XP pro to shared printer on Win98se
I have a home network setup using a cable modem and a linksys wireless router.
My home PC is a Win98se wired to the router, with a shared cannon printer. I bring my XP work laptop home and can connect to my home network via wireless I see and add the Win98se printer as a network printer on my XP but when I try a test print it fails. My college kids laptop is a Win98se and she can connect and print to it. I can access shared files on my home PC from XP machine. Any Ideas?
