Hi,
I have just bought a new HP Deskjet 2300 series USB printer. I have
installed it onto a windows XP machine and shared it for all users. I now
have 2 98 machines and I am having some trouble connecting to the printer. I
can see it over the network but can't seem to get it to work. I run through
the wizard but can't find the correct drivers to load the printer. I get to
the stage with the list of printer and click on HP (left hand side) and then
my printer isn't in the Right hand side list so I click 'have disk' but then
can't find any file that works (can't find the software that is associated
with your hardware). I have also tried installing the printer onto the 98
first, then transferring it back to the XP then trying to connect to the
shared printer but still can not get a connection.

I am stuck. Please help.

go back to the XP machine and run through the setup ...somewhere it will
give you an option of installing "additional drivers" on the XP
box...install the w98 drivers
then when the w98 box maps the printer for use , it is supposed to dl the
drivers from the host XP box

Hi haggis,
I have tried that but when I tick the 98 box it then asks me for the Windows
98 disk which I have put in but of course it is unable to find the drivers
on that. I have also put the printer driver disk in too and again it doesn't
seem to be able to find the correct file even when I search for it.
