Sharing printer on a peer to peer netwo

My guess is that the printer is not installed properly. Uninstall it and reinstall it using the network printer option. Hope this helps.

I found this by doing a search for "print windows 98" on the Windows XP Home Page
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/default.asp

There is an issue about this (win9x clients connecting) for Windows 2000, but I didn't find the same for XP.

For Win2k, you ALSO have to make sure the Win2k computers security settings are NTLM only and not the newer Win2k/XP connection acceptance settings.
But from what I've read on the XP site, this evidently doesn't apply??? in your case.

Thanks for your answers, i did as you suggested:reinstalled the printer. It worked for one the computers which was the server. I still get an error while trying to print from another workstation. I did not install this computer with the Win XP, so the tech who installed it tookover the troubleshooting. I'm not sure what rights or security he set up. I suspect that"s where the problem is. I am still learning also.I will definetely visit the microsoft web site you suggested. THANKS for yourhelp!

If it isn't already try limiting your printer share name to 8 characters (no spaces)and try to browse for the printer from the client machines.
