Mijo,
this is what I did.
#1) control panelprinteradd a printer localuse existing portpich your
Deskjet 9800 driver in HP-it's there.
#2) install
#3) once it's installed, right clic itpropertiesportsadd port
#4) add portname it
#5) i used this format \\computer\printer
where the computer is the name of the remote that has the printer
attached;and printer is the name of the printer in the XP pc.
Both XP and Vista need printer sharing on-but you prolly now that.
Works great.
