I need one of the MVP's to translate error messages and hopefully suggest places
to look next...

Situation: Home Network
PC 1 - Win98SE
two printers attached - HP DeskJet (LPT1), Epson PhotoPrinter (USB)

PC 2 - WinXP (SP1)
single printer attached - HP LaserJet (LPT1)

The printer sharing was all OK when running the (really) old PC2.

Trying to configure PC2 printers under WinXP. PC2 can print to its local printer
and the remote HP DeskJet just fine. When trying to configure the Epson
PhotoPrinter driver:
In the Printer, Port configuration tab:
The correct printer port shows up as a "LAN Manager Printer Port" just like the
HP printer. I check this port and select Configure Port - the message is:
"An error occurred during port configuration. The operation is not supported."
or Apply - the message is:
"Printer settings could not be saved. Operation could not be completed."

The Epson drivers are the latest available for WinXP. The network is working
fine, one remote printer (HP DeskJet) is configured and working properly. Any
idea where I should look next for problems configuring the Epson printer? The
error messages from Windows are useless...

Thanks!
JeffB
