printing in p2p network

[lou]

Does a printer need to be a NETWORK printer to work in a windows98/95peer to peer network? The printer is an epson IIs inkjet. Printer is hooked up to win95 machine and I cannot print from my win 98 machine. Printing only happens on win95 machine. I am using ipx protocol and file and printer sharing is set properly. Any thoughts??
Thanks

you also have to install the pronter on the other machine
open orinter add new printer when it ask for local or netwoek check network tell it where the printer is located allso have to have the printer shared on the first machine

Actually jbyron is almost right.
You have to install the printer on your 98 machine ,BUT as a local printer.
Then go to the properties and then the details tab,then add port and browse find the printer on the 95 machine and make it the port to print to.
Apply and you will be flying.
