Connecting XP Pro. and 98SE Printers

[DaBuddaDa]

I have two computers running through the same hub. One has WinXP Professional and the other has Windows 98SE. I want to network the two together so I can print from the XP computer to the 98SE computer. I've read various guides, etc., but none of them have worked. Can someone help me out here? THanks.

all you need to do is enable print sharing on the 98SE box, and share the printer. from the xp box do a search for computers and enter in the computer name of the 98SE box, the browse to it's shared printer and capture the port, install the printer drivers if needed and viola you're done. pm me if you run into any more problems, this is too simple for you to have too many problems.

btw you didn't run the stinkin network wizard on the xp box did you, it tends to be real flakey when working with other os's.

I think your pm's are full, I keep sending you things, but they don't show up in the pm history...

or
u can consider to buy a small print sever cost about 60.
then you can make your printer become a network printer and added to you hub.
