I have got a shared printer on XP Pro and I can't get my 98SE pc's to print to it. The printer is shared and I also gave the two 98SE pc's access by going to the properties on the shared printer, clicking the security tab and adding them to the list. It worked all fine yesterday but today they are crappin out on me. I thought maybe if I re-add them to the printer security list it would fix things but now I can't see the primary domain. Only the computer domain shows up. I remembered when I initially created the share it took several restarts to finally see the primary domain server. I do have administrative rights so that is not it. The user on the XP has all the rights checked on the DNS but is not on the "Administrators" group. One thing that puzzles me is, in the security tab on the xp pc, the icons for the 98SE pc shares are a white paper with a face and a red question mark on it. I am guessing cause the XP does not recognize the 98SE machines. Can anybody give me a hand? I don't think it is the printer since I can't even connect to the XP machine. The printer is an HP LaserJet 6L. The XP does have network connection cause we can connect to the internet and see other machines on the network. Same thing for the 98SE pc's. I have run out of ideas and about to be borderline insane =P. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a password on the printer in XP? XP doesn't like sharing things without passwords. David

No there isn't but even if there was how come I can't even connect to my primary DNS through security sharing? Thanks for the reply.
