Printing XP to 98SE
I've had all sorts of probloems printing from an XP on a home network to a
printer connected to a 98SE. When it prints it is very slow. More often than not, after printing something I have to shut down Word 2002, and reload it before I can print again. Also a whole load of .tmp files pile up whenver the printinf fails. I have noticed that in the Sharing tab of the Printer Properties on the XP there is a warning that when you use different Windows O/S you should have additional printer drivers for each system. I wonder if that is my problem, which I don't know how to solve as the 98SE does not seem to allow me to add a second driver. How can I do it? Thank you |

Just make sure the driver you have on the XP machine is the XP one and not the W98 one. If you don't have a disc with the XP driver, go to the manufacturers site and download one. HTH Tony |

Thanks Tony
I do have the latest XP driver in the XP. It is the other machine (the 98SE) that is connected to the printer and I wonder if I shoul have both the 98SE and XP drivers in that machine. As I said in the last post I do not know how to get 2 drivers in the 98SE. Meanwhile I found something on the net that might be related. It has to do with ports, but I do not know if I should start messing around with my network setup, which apart from the printing works fine. Any advice that you may give me will be appreciated. http://groups.google.pt/groups?hl=pt...ing.google.com ....since Win2000 and also in WinXP, when windows networking is bound toTCPIP, the system tries a network connection to remote IP port 445, andonly if this fails, uses ports 137 to 139. As Win98 and WinME don't havea port 445 open (and would not know how to handle those incoming networkpackets to port 445), WinXP keeps trying for some time or number ofattempts. (I'd like to know where this is defined, because after updatewith SP2, this takes forever.)During these attempts, the printing process seems to be frozen. So your problem may very well go away if you unbind file and printersharing from TCPIP on the WinXP machine. I would like to know whether "Tony" escreveu na mensagem ... "Peter" wrote in message ...

The XP machine needs an XP driver. The W98 machine needs a W98 driver. Any
deviation from this will create additional problems. "Peter" wrote in message ... Thanks Tony I do have the latest XP driver in the XP.
