I have a problem connecting to a printer that is installed via USB on a Win2000 machine. The o/s is Win98 and I think it is a driver problem.

When I go into the printer properties on the Win2000 machine, there is a section under 'Sharing' (Freigabe - i use german VERSION) about "additional drivers", that are apparantly needed when trying to ACCESS from another operating system.

I cliked on "Intel - Windows 95 or 98 - [not installed]" and it came up with asking the W2k-CD. I inserted the OEM cd, but I dont have the server edition, only the normal one.

So it is now looking for the printer driver for Win95 / 98 on this OEM CD in the E:\printers\Win9X directory. Which section is this on the normal CD? Or how else can I GET the drivers installed for the installation on my Win98 machine to work?

I have the following directories on my Ger_W2k_SP1 CD: BOOTDISK, DISCOVER, I386 (subdir. SYSTEM32/WIN9XMIG/WIN9XUPG/WINNTUPG), SUPPORT and VALUEADD.

Thanks for any help or guideline.The first thing you need to do is go to the manufacturer's web site for the printer and download all of the drivers, for WHATEVER versions of Windows you intend to support. Hopefully you'll also find some instructions there for supporting the printer over a network share.

If not, come BACK for further discussion! thanks, that just helped me on the right track *CLOSE*
