Not on network?

[Wayne Gillmor]

I have a HP LaserJet 1100 and a Lexmark Z51 set up on a WinXPpro machine. I
have two other computers connected via a network. Both printers are shared.
The Lexmark works just fine, but the LaserJet doesn't even show as on the
network (i.e. as in "browse for printer") (unless I do the browsing on the
XP machine - there is shows up).

The Lexmark uses drivers I downloaded on the XP machine, the LaserJet is
using the driver built into Winxp.

What am I missing here?

Never mind, I have it working now.

When I shared it on the XP machine, the default share name was
"LaserJet_1100" (including the underscore).
Seems Win 98 doesn't like that underscore. Changed name to "Laserjet1100"
and it worked fine.
Makes you want to strangle someone at Microsoft!
