Printer sharing 9x/2k/2k3
Ok, I have the Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition Evaluation copy.
I'm trying to setup the printer sharing. I've installed the printer (a USB Lexmark X73 all-in-one) on the Server 2003 machine. I have a W2K machine that can print to the network printer fine. I have a Win98SE machine that cannot connect the printer. The Win98SE machine has two users on it. They do not have passwords. I created the users on the Server 2003 machine and they have Guest and User privileges. When I try to install the network printer, it goes through all the steps, when it asks for the printer drivers I select the path on the Win98SE machine that I unzipped the drivers(win98 specific drivers) into. It goes through the install process and finishes without an error message. The printer icon flashes in the "Printers" window and then immediately disappears. This occurs no matter how many times I try to "Add New Printer". I cannot load the 9x drivers on the 2003 Server machine. Is the problem because it is an "All-in-one" printer? Or is Lexmark not able to be shared in this manner? Any help is appreciated. --------------------------------------------------- Brian Howe Information is power.
