I don't mean to horn in on your conversation with Bronxxbabe but your post
addresses a problem similiar to one I have and I wondered if I could get a
comment from you.
I have a small network with 2 Win98 computers and 2 WinXP computers. When I
had all the units running Win98 and using an HP3100 all in one printer as my
nextwork printer I had no problem printing from any of the computers. When I
upgraded one of the units to WinXP I could not print from that unit to the
network printer that was still on a Win98 unit. Now I have upgraded another
unit to WinXP and one of the WinXP units is now the printer server. Now I
can print to the network printer from both the WinXP units but not the Win98
units. One of which is
a laptop that can not be converted to WinXP for lack of capability.
I have looked up articles on Microsoft Knowledge base and tried all the
suggestions.
I have some of your articles from your web site also.
This seems to be in conflict with your comments about the all in one
printers unless I am just too dense to understand what was meant.
This is what happens when printing. When I send the print job the status on
document process window of the host computer says "Error-printing" then
disapears after about 20 seconds . The document process window on the server
computer first says "Printing", after a few seconds it changes to
"Error-printing", then after a few more seconds changes again to "Printing"
and then disapears. But nothing is printed.
I don' know what it means when the server computer
displays a message of print progress. Is the server printer actually
receiving the print job and rejecting it or what?
I would appreciate your comments if it not too much of an imposition.
Best Regards, and thanks,
Dave
