As subject, is there any solution to solve this ?
My printer is HP laserjet 6P.

Thanks.

Get a print server box (included in some routers) :^)

BTW which version of 95? (a),b,c

Are you set for the same workgroup?
Is the W95(?) Network protocol set to TCP/IP
Is NetBios over TCP/IP enabled?

It is more traditional to use the higher level O/S as the Share
server.
If you attach the LJ 6P to Vista and Share it, can your W95 see it?

Thanks Steve, Smile

Actually, the printer was attached to the computer running at Windows 98 SE.
And it works while I was using Win XP through our intranet (with same
workgroup). And I don't know the network protocol exactly. And I can't attach
the LJ 6P to my Vista and Share it. Hope you help me.

Thanks again, Steve.

Create a local printer using a Local Port with the name
\\machine\printshare

Vista has deprecated making connections to non-RPC machines.
