problem with the HP laser jet 6L

Hello,

I have a laser jet 6L on a XP and use it in my network. I have shared
it. one of my clients has windows 98 and can not see this printer.
this computer has both win98 and XP. When I run the system with XP it
works fine and shared printer can be seen and use. but with 98 I can
not see the shared printer.

What can be the issue?

thanks in advance for your help.

Does the Win98 box see/share with the rest of the network successfully?

Did you install the printer software on the Win98 box? How did you add
the printer to Win98?

Hi!
use a short name (no more than 8 characters) in the shared as (name of the
printer you will share)

Best regards!

Hello

I am using a network with bus topology. one client has a laser jet
connected to it and I want the other client which has XP and 98 OS to
print via that printer.
Sharing has no problem in network and if I share a directory I can use
it from 98 computer. I have installed the driver on both computers but
no use.
I thought that 98 should get the driver from the computer that has the
printer locally connected to it so I put it on the additional driver on
XP on the computer that has the printer but no use?

other information needed?

If I want to delete the printer and install it again in a way that it
asks and need for driver what do I have to do?
If I remove the printer to install it again, it does not need driver
and it will find the driver and additional driver itself.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

The problem is solved. It needed a share name shorter than 8 character.


Thank you very much for your helps.

Actually up to 12 chars is acceptable.
