Without knowing what type of printer you are using, you may have to locate,
download, and install the appropriate Vista compatible printer driver--the 98/xp driver located on the 9x machine will probably not install--, then change the *port* to point to your networked printer host machine such as: \\win98computername\sharedprintername This is assuming that all necessary sharing, etc is established on your network. -- Maxwell Bluemeanie ---- "Vincent Ho" Vincent wrote in message ...
