Info on setup of printer off of Win ME to print from an XP machine over network.
Setup: Networking is up and running on both computers DSL into Linksys 4
port router both computers connected to router. My Upstairs computer is my main computer and I had setup a computer downstairs for my mom 3 yrs ago. My HP LaserJet 4p is attached to LPT1 downstairs so that mom does not have to go over the stairs. Both computers are in the grooup: WORKGROUP. I've enabled sharing of the printer on the ME machine. and I can see the ME machine listed in my network places. But it says I don't have access to it when I try to get to the printer from my xp upstairs. Can anyone point me to to something online on this topic or possibly give me some settings to check? When I told ME to share the printer I left the password blank. The ME computer is setup to boot up and just come up; Ie; there are not various users on it. (It's turned off 95% of the time). It's only on if mom checks email or If I want to print from upstairs. I had this working on an NT machine untill 3 weeks ago when the motherboard died and I upgraded her computer. I'm fairly proficient with windows but past getting my computer on the internet I'm not so familiar with Window's networking. So you should assume it's probably a "dumb" error on my part! I'll look at this group for any answers so just postem here if you would. Thanks for any help! Dallas... -- Email: Home Page: www.geocities.com/d_overturf |
