We have an HP6L connected to an XP machine and all the 98 machines will print to it. However the NT machine will not connect. If the printer is connected to the NT machines all 98 machines will print to it but the XP machines will not. HELP.

Are all of the machines in the same workgroup/domain?

Clutch,

Yes, all machines are in the same domain. The XP machine will attempt to get the nt drivers off the NT machine but it will not work.

I had a similar problem with a Windows Me machine trying to printer share from my XP System. If you right click on the printer icon in XP, click on sharing, there is an option to load additional drivers into XP for other operating systems. I had to load Me drivers onto the XP box, so the Win Me system could download them from the XP system when setting up a network printer .. Hope that helps !
