Network printer inop in Win2K from client PCs but OK in Win98?

[EvilHorace]

Since adding Win2K to my dual boot server (Win98/Win2K), the 2 client PCs both running Win95 can't use the printer physically attached to my server (the server can print in either OS however). If I boot the server to Win98SE, the printer works from both Win95 clients.
Now, I go into control panel/printers, right click on it and select sharing and it shows that the box for Win98/95 drivers are not installed. I try to install them and it asks for my Win2K "server cd" and it's looking for a 'X.inf' file but I'm so far unable to browse to it/find it on either my Win2K cd or my HP software cd (HP 722C printer) and I know that that cd has drivers that work in all Windows OSs because I've installed it under all 3 that I'm using here.
Anyone by chance run into this before with a networked Win2K PC and Win95/98 client PCs?

We had a similar problem in our home lan using a hp laserjet 4 plus. When server was running 2k, the others couldn't find the printer. What we did was more like w work around. We first forgot to intall the win98 drivers for it, after adding that looks like you already foudn that part, we also had to add another printer to the clients. One was set as the Win98se shared printer and then we set it up again, only this time we booted the server in win2k and changed the printer name and description. So Each server os only had one profile for a shared printer, but each cliet had two. (we later bought a network card, and it was MUCH easier to setup, running within 5 min of start) Good luck, hope this helps.
