I have setup a small network in my home. My computer is a P200 with
Window2000 proffessional and my son has a old 486 with window98. I have
shared my Lexmart 3200 printer and given my son access to it. When he prints
to the printer we get the print manager com up and can see print proccess,
but no printing. When we get the job proccess finnish, there is a "clunk"
from the printer and thats it.

I have the Lexmart Win2000 drivers on my computer and the Win98 drivers on
his, but it still does not work. On Windows2000 you can load additional
drivers that can be download automatically when a user conects to the
printer, but when I try to add the Win98 drivers it ask for the Window2000
server CD and I only have the workstation.

Does anyone have an idea whats wrong, my son is forced to using sneeker net
to get his reports done.
