Unable to print to network printer from Win98SE client
I have a dual-boot PC (XP SP3 & 98 SE) which cannot print (from Notepad nor a
simple Test Page) to a network printer (shared Lexmark Z55 connected by USB on another XP SP3 box) when booted via the Win98SE drive... it works normally via the XP setup though (so not a hardware nor connection issue). When printing is attempted (under Win98SE), the printjob appears to queue up normally, but nothing happens at the printer (which is on before the job is sent to the printer). However, this 98SE client was able to see the printer in question on the network and add it to the available Printers. Furthermore, I can print normally to this printer from the PC where it is shared, as well as all other XP boxes in my (only) workgroup... including the XP setup on the problem PC. The printer's driver (on all PCs), OSes (on all PCs), and McAffee Internet Security (firewall, anti-virus, etc. -- on XP machines *only*) are all up-to-date [verified before making this post]... there is no firewall nor A/V software on the 98SE client at all. Any thoughts? |
