Printer sharing between Win98 and WinXP

12-16-2006, 03:47 PM

My Lexmark 83 printer is connected to the WinXP desktop. Now I am trying to
share the printer with my wireless networked Win98 (ME) Laptop. Problem is,
the laptop can't find the printer. I suppose I need to install the printer
driver for Win98. Question: where do I install the driver, on the desktop or
the laptop or both?
