I have a Windows 2003 SBS Server. On this server a couple of networkprinters
are shared (Standard TCP:IP Port).
Connected to the server are some Windows 2000 PC's, some XP's and some 95's.

For more than one month I had not problem at all printing from all the PC's
to the printers on the server.

Now, all of a sudden I can't print from any Windows 95 to any of the shared
printers.
I have no problem with the Windows 2000 or XP PC's.

I restarted the server, the PC's, reinstalled the printers on the server, on
the PC's. Nothing helps.

On the server I can see in the printerscreen that the printed file is
shortly spooled. Then it disappears. In the eventlog I can see
"Document 84, Remote Downlevel Document owned by BCV was deleted on HP
LaserJet 4M Plus - IT."

On the 95 I get an error:
"Error writing to \\server\printport. There was a problem printing due to an
unknown systemerror"

The only solution I see is sharing the printers on another (Windows 2000)
PC. This works, but this is no real solution...
Anyone any ideas?

Marc
