I am preparing to roll out XP in our company and have a printer issue. I can't get one of our printers to print and need to install a new driver for XP. My question is if I do so, how will this affect my win 98 clients. It doesn't seem like it should matter much, because the 98 clients driver is at the local machine. Ideas?

Thanks
 
Hi,
Is the printer attached to the network, a workstation or a print server?

If the printer is attached to the network, their should be no problem printing to it.

Again if the printer is attached to a workstation and then shared, it should not have a problem.

I have three printers on my network, two attached to win2k machines and one directly on the network and have not experienced a problem using WinXP or Win98.

Hope this helps
