Printer Sharing Win98 and Vista
To 'share' the printer between the two PCs, both PCs must be in the same

Try and separate the overall sharing issue (Vista to 98) from the printer driver issue. With a complex situation like yours (Vista on the server, 98 on the client) you have to have a printer that's supported under both Windows 98 and Vista. And you can work on that only with sharing working. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2007/05/file-sharing-and-printer-sharing-are.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2007/0...aring-are.html And I don't see you specifically say that you corrected the LM Authentication issue. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2007/05/microsoft-windows-and-authentication.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2007/0...ntication.html And it's possible that the problems don't solely involve Vista and its differences. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/12/windows-xp-and-vista-on-lan-together.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/1...-together.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
