Hi!

I have some PCs with Win2k and Win98SE.
One of Wi2k PCs have a HP6L printer connected onto.

I need to share this printer over network FOR Win98SE.

Where to get drivers for HP6L for Win98 to install on Win2k?

The drivers for Win98 should be included on the driver disk or Win98 may already have the drivers built into the OS. You may need to install the printer before attaching it to the network share, which may be what you need to do to begin with. HP 5ls and 4ls are both compatible with the 6l printer.

I have installed drivers already on Win98.

But Win98 is not seeing HP6L port on Win2k PC.
So, I need to install win98 drivers to win2k. How and where?
(.inf file needed to install - there is no one on HP6L diskette for w98). Driver: "Intel, Windows 95, Windows 98"

You can download the drivers from www.hp.com, go to drivers/printers and type in your model number and operating system. Printer drivers behave differently in win9x machines. Unlike winnt and win2k where they reside on the print server, win9x clients need to have the driver installed directly on the machine accessing the printer.
Good luck!

Go to printers decretory-> select printer-> properties-> SHARING->
share as-> additional drivers-> ad check mark for win95 or 98 and win2k.
It will ask you for drivers source you?ll need to point a location for that
You can get drivers from www.hp.com

You follow this steps on Win98 computer?
-add printer
-network printer
-select network printer
-use options and give the Win98 driver
These works for me with NT4.0 and Win9x.
