Win98SE Network Printer Problem.

I have two machines, (I will be expanding to 5) on a network. I want
to be able to have all the computers be able to print off of the
printer hooked up to my machine. I use a router to link us all up. I
had the printer working once, but now I cannot get the printer to be
recognized when I try to network to it from the other PC.


Is there something specific I need to do to make this work?


Thanks in advance,

Make sure the printer share name is 12 characters or less and no spaces.

connected to on the network ...you cannot see printer attached ?

I can find it on my machine. Listed as "Lexmark X73". Works fine from
my machine. But the other machine cannot print to it. It connects the
shared "network" printer. But I get an error "Cannot communicate with
printer" when I try to print.
