I have a laxmark Z43 connected to an XP machine that is on my home
network and is using the USB port. I also have a W98 machine connected
to my home network and I want to share the printer connected to the XP
machine with it. I have set the printer on the XP machine to share. On
the w98 machine I went to the printers tab and clicked the add printers
tab. I pointed the add printer to the XP machine by providing the rout
and the printer name. Everything seems fine. The printer shows up as a
net work printer on the w98 machine. The problem is then when I send a
print job from the w98 machine the printer never tries to print.
Everything looks normal the printer shows up in the tray and when
clicked it shows a job is printing. But the printer is not printing.
Printer prints fine from the XP machine. File sharing between the two
machines works fine.

Got ant ideas?
