printing from winXP to win95

[niz]

i have a network consisting of a router connected to a WinXP machine
and a Win95 machine. a Lexmark 1020 Jetprinter is connected to the
Win95 machine. My problem is I cannot print from the Win95 machine to
the WinXp machine - i have set up the printer in WinXp and when i
"print" it does appear in the print queue on the Win95 machine - but
then it just vanishes.

i have a feeling it might be a driver issue - i installed the XP
lexmark drivers on the XP machine, and have the WIn95 lexmark drivers
on the 95 machine. how should i set things up in order to enable
printing from XP to 95?

thanks... please reply to group

You could have a driver problem - and diagnosing one will only be resolved by
reloading the driver, most likely by un installing and re installing.

Check for simpler solutions first. Look at the server and share names, under
Windows XP you can have names that Windows 9x can't handle.
