How do I get an XP machine to see shared printers on WinME machines or Win98
machines on a network. The XP machine can see all the shared files but none
of the shared printers. The XP machine is a Laptop, all other machines are
desktops.

Thanks

Go to the ME PC and look at the Properties on the printer. Ensure it is
actually set to be shared and that the shared name of the printer is 12
characters/numbers or less with NO SPACES in between.

Then take a look at:

If you can see the printer from the ME PCs, what happens when you try to
install it on the ME PCs?
