Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Networking / March 2005Printing
I have a little home network, connected through a gateway. There are 3 PC - 1 XP, 1 W2K and 1 Win98SE. The W2K PC is having no trouble at printing from the shared printer on the XP machine but the W98 machine does not see the printer at all. Both machines have access to the XP machine through the firewall. The printer is shared on the XP machine. I have the right drivers for the printer although I haven't been able to get as far as installing the drivers on the W98 machine. I have additional W98 drivers enabled in the printer setup on the XP machine but they are greyed out and I cannot amend them (???). Any ideas anyone Ta >I have a little home network, connected through a gateway. There are 3 PC - >1 XP, 1 W2K and 1 Win98SE.
