Ok, now it's official.

I used VPC to create a small lab, and you guest...
After adding SP2 to XP, network printer stopped working.

It was working all along with XP w/o SP, with SP1, but stopped after SP2

So, maybe this is not the real place to mourn, cause this is almoust sertain
problem created after instaling SP2.

Please, advice,
