In 2005, Lexmark advised me that "network sharing" an X7170 is only supported by their WinXP driver. Their Win98/WinME driver doesn't support this attachment method, and wiull not be enhanced. Try this workaround: -- USB connect the X7170 to your WinXP PC and install it there -- Then define it as a 'peer-to-peer' shared printer resource in that PC -- Now any other PC in that workgroup should be able to use it (through the WinXP PC) like any other shared resource Good luck...
