can't print to windows 98 machine being used as print server attached with USB p
The home network i have setup up is using a windows 98
machine as a print server. i have two printers attached to it, one via the parallel port (LPT1) and the other via a USB port. I am running windows 98SE on the machine I am sharing the printers from and XP and 2000 on two other machines ont he network. I can see both printers via my network neighborhood but am unable to print to the printer attached to the USB port. The printer attached to the parallel port prints just fine both locally and via the network. the printer attached to the USB port is an Lexmark 1100 series the printer attached to the parallel is an Hp laserjet and works fine I have tried installing a new PCI card with USB 2.0 and tried printing that way and am still not able. i am able to print directly from the machine, just not over the network. there might be some incapability issues with the drivers as i am trying to print to a 98 machine from an xp machine, but i went to the lexmark website and downloaded the appropriate drivers. i am also able to print regularly so i am stumped. windows error message is that there is a problem with current printer setup. i am also unable to print a test page over the network but can do so on the machine locally. any help would be muc appreciated. thanks. |
