I am having a HP 2300L laser printer connected to a windows 2000 pro. operating system. Which is available on the network. I have shared this printer on the network. I was able to configure this printer on Windows XP operating system on the network.

Windows 98 operating system gives me an error stating :

Sushant ,I think you must Upgrade win98 to Win Xp-pro
or Win 2000-pro

You need to create an account on Windows 2000 that is the same as the one you have on Win98.

in order to access a printer connected to a win 2000/XP system you either need to create a user logon account on the w2k/XP system that is the same as the win 98 system logon (user name/password) or use the administrator account from the w98 system (not a good idea)

after creating the user account on the w2k/XP system logonto the shared printer from w98, when prompted for a password enter the user name/password and select SAVE PASSWORD in system option
