Sharing Printers

[Wayne]

Hi,

I have shared my printer HP Laserjet 1012 over the
network but only people with windows XP can see my
printer. For all other Windows operating systems it is as
if I had not shared my printer.

Help?

Thanks!

Make sure that the printer's share name isn't longer than 12
characters. If it is, Windows 95/98/Me won't be able to see it.
