Printing on LAN ???

I feel a right berk about this but I've forgotten how to get a printer operational on a two-computer LAN.

Both are running WIN98SE and can see and talk to each other thru the router with no difficulty, but I can't figure out how to get the remote computer to be able to use the printer attached to the main computer.

I've possibly mucked it all up by having the printer installed on both computers?

The printer is listed as SHARED under file-sharing options for both and it prints just peachey from the main computer.

What am I doing right? I'm sure that most of it is wrong.

Stupidly,

Only have it "shared" on the PC it is connected to.

On the other, do a network setup and I prefer to specify exactly where it is rather than having the setup app look around.

For instance, if you are on PC2 and the printer is on PC1 and shared as My-print-thing then the location (for the network printer setup on PC2) would be \\pc1\my-print-thing

With 98 you will need to have the printer drivers installed on PC2 though. Sounds like you already have that part done.

 

Bingo!

Thanks, Newt. As always, your replies hit the banana on the peel.
