Cari,
Thank you for your reply. I did try that. I downloaded
the xp driver did the add new printer wizard. found my
shared printer on the win98 machine and added it at this
point I get something about driver on host machine I'm
assuming the win98 box(forgive me for not having exact
verbage) I say continue anyway and manually load the
driver. Then add printer wizard hangs and stops
responding after like 3/4's the way through the add. the
new printer icon appears in the printer folder but is
tagged with status (opening) never goes to ready I can
not right click for properties or print. This same exact
thing has happend on two seperate machines.
