Bill,

The port is configured by the NetGear software and is a Standard TCP/IP port, identified as IP_192.168.0.5, the protocol is
Raw, and the port number is 9100. It is not shared, and the spool options are set to spool and print immediately, and print
spooled documents first. The print processor is WinPrint with the default datatype as RAW; the alternatives are PrintPort
Print Processor (part of the PrintPort application?) and jDocPrc (about which I know nothing).

Thank you for looking into this for me.
Larry

| Greetings,
| I have two computers (both running XP home edition) network together and to broadband via a Netgear DG814
| Gateway. Part of
| our setup is a HP 930c DeskJet printer. When the printer was USB connected to one computer, all worked 'as
| advertised': the
| HP software provided previews and two-sided printing control and Windows provided spooling of sufficient size
| as to
| immediately take any document we printed and release the application (WordPro, Word, Internet Explorer, etc) for
| additional
| work.
|
| However, not wanting to have one computer host the printer, I added a Netgear PS101 Mini Print Server. This
| works in that
| either computer can print, but apparently there is no spooling capability, because the application is not released
| for
| further work until all printing has completed. I (reluctantly) accept that the HP software is not network enabled and I
| miss
| the preview (other that what Word, etc., provides) and two-sided print control the HP software provided, but I would
| expect
| the built-in HP print drivers and system spooler to work.
|
| Is there a) any way I can regain the spooling capability and b) the two-side printing control?
|
| Thank you.

| Larry,
|
| What are we using for a port for the printer, is it something from Netgear, Standard TCP/IP, etc.? It sounds like we are
using
| the printer driver that came with Windows XP, if this is the case go to the Advanced tab in the printers Properties and
make
| sure the options "Spool print documents so program finishes printing faster" and "Start printing immediately" are selected.
| Also on this tab click the "Print Processor" button and see what processor the driver is using.
