Print Srever Hide & Seek (2 posts)

Hi there,

OK, On my local network we have a print server XP Media Edition (SP2) workstation with a HP Lasser Jet connected to it....

Recently, Two other workstations within our LAN that can't print to it.

The first PC ( XP Pro SP1) can connect and install this printer but when it prints within a flsh two messages pop up from the printer 1) Paused 2) Spooling and then the print dosen't get printed and there are no jobs in the que.... but that happens when on that individual user's loggon, but my log on (not administrator) has no problem printing.

Then now the Second PC ( NT ) can't see nothing in the Print Server's printer folder using her logon, so this case there is no printer to connect to, but with my log on the printer is present and i could connect and print.....

What has this #@%#@%^#$^& got to be this time? Any Help Out There?

Login as admin, remove all printers, install drivers for the printer you have.

To make the printer available to each user, login to their account and install the printer under their account,(or better still get them to do it). =8-)

If you're working with a hundred people, I feel sorry for you, but this is the only solution that seems to work for me.
