Hello All,

I have a small home network. A d-link router with a XP
pro box and a 98SE box on hardwires, and a W2K box via
wireless.
I am able to see, share, and change files between all
3 machines and all 3 can access the internet.
I have a Lexmark 6150 shared from the XP box. (It is
connected via USB if it matters) I can access the printer
from the W2K box.
Everything is working great except for 1 final task. I
am unable to install the shared 6150 printer to my 98SE
box.
I can see the shared printer in my workgroup and can
start the "add printer" using that share. But when it
comes time to actually find the printer from inside the
wizard, it fails to find it. I have tried adding it from
the add hardware wizard too with no luck.

ADDITIONAL INFO: When I try to add the 9x print
drivers thru the "additional printer drivers" wizard on
the XP box, I get errors. "there are no drivers for the
environment you are requesting located here" or "unable
to install Lexmark 6100 series, intel, windows 95, 98,
and ME driver. Operation could not be completed"
I know these are the correct 9x drivers for the
printer and that they downloaded correctly. If I try to
download the drivers to the XP box from "setup", they are
trying to overwrite the XP print drivers in my C:\Lxk6100
folder. I'm afraid that will only result in the wrong
drivers for the printer being installed on the XP
box ............ won't it?

Any and all suggestions or info pages are welcome. If
possible please write me directly at "indngvr@hotmail.com"

Thanks in advance !!

Jeff
