I have a desktop running Win98se that is our main dog for email, printing, etc.
But now, I've moved my HP printer from LPT1 to a network connection
so the other laptops in the house can print without having the Win98se running.

I used a little Netgear PS101 server, that attaches to the Centronics connector,
and the Netgear has an Ethernet RJ45 and power - really nice solution.

I could just install the Netgear software,
but was looking for something more generic.

Anyway - Win98se doesn't have the TCP/IP printing capability,
so what software have folks installed to support this type of printing ?

UPDATE..... installed the NetGear "add printer wizard" & works
fine,
but still would like to know what others have done for generic
software ?
