My wife's laptop is running 98SE. We have set up an XP home computer for the
kids and it has our only printer. I am able to print to it from 2003 Server,
but not from the laptop. Here are some things I have tried after reviewing
ideas on MS KB, Google and Lexmark:

1. Ensure the 98 driver is loaded on the XP machine.
2. Capture the port to LPT2.
3. Test the printer connected directly to the laptop - it works.
4. Remove and reinstall drivers. (done on both XP and 98).

Any other ideas?

OK - I kept playing with it and made the following changes - and it worked:

1. Deleted drivers on both machines.
2. Changed print processor to "RAW" on the 98 machine.
