so I have a lexmark z22 connected to my desktop, and I want my laptop to be able to print from it.

I went to control panel > printer > and clicked on add printer.

I chose the option for "set up a network printer." The next screen then asks me if I want to browse for it. I chose to browse for it and it asks me to put the printer name.

I put LEXMARK_Z22_ and it said that it cannot find it........

that is the exact name that is on my desktop...but it cannot find it.

I already enabled sharing on my desktop....so what could be wrong??

laptop = xp home. desktop = win98

Firstly can both pc's see and comunicate with each other? If so then you'll have to install the software that came with the printer onto the laptop. Click on add printer click network printer/ have disk etc, and install the software. If all else fails install netbuei protocol on both machines. Its on the 98 disc but for xp you'll have to go here,http://www.onecomputerguy.com/software/xp_netbeui.zip
