Hi All,
I've just added a Win 95 laptop to my Windows Workgroup and set the Printer (connected to the Win 95 machine) so that it can be shared on the network.
When I browse the workgroup from my W2K server machine I can see the Win 95 machine and the printer OK.
Only problem is when I try to add a new printer on the W2K machine, after I've selected the printer in the setup wizard, I get an error message - "Could not connect to the printer. You either entered a printer name that is incorrect or the specified printer is no longer connected to the server."Any ideas here? It's a windows network over TCP/IP and the laptop is running Win 95 Japanese version.
Any advice would be fantastically appreciated!
Greg
