Hi, welcome to AT.

Share the printer on the computer with it and then install network printer on the computer that wants to use it.

Thanks, what will be the settings required for the installation of printer in Windows 98 for local area network?

Make sure that both computers have Client for MS win installed, File and Print Sharing installed, and a common protocol (be it NetBeui or TCP/IP). You can do that via network properties.

Now go to printer properties on the PC with the printer, and share it. Note the name of this PC and the name you give the printer. You'll need it for the other computer.

On the other computer, when you're installing the printer, tell it your printer is networked. The address of the printer is now //computername/printername

Once it detects the printer, install the drivers, and you've successfully networked a printer.
