Printer Share Problem
Hello All,
I have a d-link router configured with a 3 station workgroup. An XP pro box and a 98SE box are hardwired. A W2K machine is running wireless. I am able to connect to the internet successfully and can see / share files between all 3 machines. I have a Lexmark 6150 shared from the XP box via USB. I also have a HP 550c shared from the 98SE box via LPT1. I can access the 6150 and the 550c from the W2K and the XP boxes. Everything is working great except for 1 final task. I am unable install the shared 6150 printer onto my 98SE box. I can see the share in my workgroup and can start the "add printer" using that share. But when it comes time to actually find the printer from inside the wizard, it can't find it. Any and all suggestions are welcome Thanks in advance !! Jeff PS/ no trees were destroyed to post this However millions of electrons were terribly inconvenienced |
