Some Win98 installs may need this
Authored by: jnginaa on Apr 02, '05 01:24:27AM

I struggled with this for a while on my WIN98 machine (it was way easy on WIN XP) and this was the key (at least for me).

It appears that "internet printing" wasn't native to WIN98, but was an add on. Windows Update doesn't list it, but it is at the MS website here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/contents/WUPreviews/IPP/Default.asp

Hit the Next button to go the the licnese, then to download the installer.

Until I installed this, I could not get my Mac's shared printers to show up or connect.

I hope this helps some of you. It finally let me sleep after much pulling of hair and cursing MS Windows.
