and did you 'shared' the printer and file sharing on win 98SE?
And you might need to install the printer drivers on windows xp... Not just Add Printer.
my desktop is running 98SE and is connected to a Lexmark Z-43. It is networked wirelessly to my XP SP2 laptop. I have set-up print sharing on the desktop.I have allowed print and file sharing in the XP firewall. When I try to add a network printer tells me that the printer does not have the correct driver installed.When I continue to find a driver and attempt to install it says that windows cannot connect to the printer, that it either lost it's connection or the name was typed incorrectly.
Please help
