Win2003 Server Printer serving problem.

B

Brian

Ok, I have the Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition Evaluation copy.
I'm trying to setup the printer sharing. I've installed the printer (a
USB Lexmark X73 all-in-one) on the Server 2003 machine.

I have a W2K machine that can print to the network printer fine.

I have a Win98SE machine that cannot connect the printer.

It has two users on it. They do not have passwords. I created the
users on the Server 2003 machine and they have Guest and User
privileges.

When I try to install the network printer, it goes through all the
steps, when it asks for the printer drivers I select the path on the
Win98SE machine that I unzipped the drivers(win98 specific drivers)
into. It goes through the install process and finishes without an
error message. The printer icon flashes in the "Printers" window and
then immediately disappears. This occurs no matter how many times I
try to "Add New Printer".

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
