Hello -

Anybody seen this? I'm trying to add a port in Windows 98 for a Standard IP
printer. I start Add Printer, then choose Local Printer, then provide the
driver (Lexmark E332n).
It then asks for the port. I click Add Port... and nothing whatsoever
happens. Clicking this button indefinitely seems to have no effect.
Has anyone seen this and found a fix???

Thanks,
Vincident

With Windows 98 you need to install software (in this case, from Lexmark) to
enable creation of a tcp/ip "port"

This isn't built into 9x like it is with NT/2000/XP...
