Network Printer Sharing

[Nick]

I have a peer server with WinXP Pro and one workstation
with WinXP Pro and 3 workstations with Win98SE. The
printer connected to the WinXP Pro workstation is a shared
HP LaserJet 1150. I am unable to send print commands from
a Win98SE workstation to the LaserJet printer. I was
advised to load the printer drivers, etc from the LaserJet
CD onto the Win98SE computer but was unable to accomplish
this task. The Win98SE computer was unable to recognize
the LaserJet thats connected to the WinXP Pro workstation.
I have no problem sending printer jobs from the XP peer
server to the workstation with XP. Any suggestions would
be greatly appreciated.

Ask HP's tech.support if that printer is supported on a
cross-platform LAN; some are not.
