Re: Printing over network from win98 to XP

[Kenneth J. Harris]

I recall that when I set up a small home network with one 98 computer
and one xp computer(printer connected to it), I was told to make sure
the drivers for the printer were installed on the 98 computer as well as
on the xp computer, but if both computers were xp the drivers only had
to be on the one with the printer. My 98 did have the drivers on it and
did print through the network so maybe that's the solution.

have you checked the compatibility driver for the windows
