Re: Windows File & Print sharing
Ok, well I've managed to get both machines on the the same workgroup "shuttle1".
I can share files no problems there.
As for printing, its still not working.
I've got my printer on my Windows 98SE machine connected and set to sharing. The little hand is underneath it.
Then on the laptop, I've done the add printer wizard and found it on the "shuttle1" network under the Win 98 PC.
It says its all done. When I right click the printer and look at properties it says its on a Win95 machine for some reason.
It also doesnt seem to show the printer location.
As before whenever I select to print to that printer from the laptop it stalls and does nothing, then says document has been sent to print, and then the program crashes. The document doesnt print. I've printing from several different programs in XP and making sure that this printer was selcted.
I cant work this one out. Its driving me crazy.
Many thanks for your help so far in this mad mystery.
