Sharing a printer on a wireless network
I have a Dell A920 printer that is attached to my Dell computer running XP. I have a D-Link DI-624 wireless router that connects an XP laptop, a 98SE desktop, and a 98SE laptop.
I would like to share the A920 printer so that all of the computers can use this printer.
I'm a little confused. I think I have to make the printer a "shared" device. Do I have to install any drivers for the printer to work with 98SE? How will the 98SE computers work with the A920?
Please advise. Thanks for your help. Tony

Once the printer is a shared device on the network, any Windows XP computers will pick it up and automatically install drivers (if they are native to Windows XP). If they are not native to XP and for any Windows 98 computers, you will have to use the Add Printer wizard, install the printer as a network printer, and install the drivers for that printer. For Windows 98 systems, that means you will have to install Windows 98 drivers for the printer.
