using windows 98 as a print server
Okay, here is my situation:
I setup a new XP machine on my network. I am installing a printer (HP Laserjet 2300)that is shared on a windows 98 computer. My XP machine can browse to the printer. I can ping the machine that the printer is attached to. That computer can also ping my XP machine. The printer will actually install but in the status it says the printer cannot be found. Other windows 98 machines have no problem printing to this printer. I have applied all updates to the XP machine. Have turned off simple file sharing (which sometimes causes problems like this). Have gone into security and enabled allowed the everyone permission to apply to anonymous users (also had problems with other programs when this has not been done) Thanks for any help or ideas that can be given Chris |

Are you sure you installed the XP version of the driver for the HP 2300?
If you haven't already, download the Windows XP driver from http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/eng...e_drivers.html and use that version on your XP computer. Note that if your Windows 98 computer is using the PCL5e driver, use the PCL5e (not the PCL6) driver on your XP computer. -- Bruce Sanderson MVP It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
