When I tried to install the Printing software for Peer-to-Peer printing, I received an error
message and the installation aborted.
This may be caused by an existing installation of the printer port software. Before
attempting another installation:
Remove the existing installation
Restart your computer
To remove an existing printer port installation:
1 Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
2 Look for an entry with a name like "Shared Port", "Shared Printer Port", "Print Server
Utility" or "Print Server Port".
3 Select this item, click Add/Remove, and confirm the deletion.
On Windows 98, I installed the Print Port Driver for Peer-to-Peer Printing, but when I
selected a port on a Wireless Print Server and clicked "Add", the printer was not installed.
Try installing the Printer using the standard Windows tools, as follows:
1
Start the Add Printer Wizard by selecting Start > Settings > Printers > Add Printer.
2
Select Network Printer when prompted, "How is the printer attached to your
Computer?” and click Next.
