I have a Dell desktop computer with Windows 98.  I also use my Dell Latitude laptop with Windows ME.  Both computers usually reside on the same desk.  I have them connected to a router and then to my modem.  This works fine.

Both computers recognized my HP printer; the laptop found the HP printer on my desktop and printed when requested.
Recently, I purchased a Lexmark X6170 four-in-one printer.  I connected it as per instructions.  I was able to install the print drivers to my desktop and it works fine. 

But...I cannot figure out how to get my laptop computer to 'see' the Lexmark printer. I have tried numerous ways to attempt to get my laptop to see the print drivers on my desktop but I cannot understand how to do this.  

I would be grateful to learn how to set things up so that I can use my new Lexmark X6170 from both my desktop and laptop.
Sincere thanks.

Also, I still haven't figured out how to share files between my laptop and desktop.
