hp 4110 all in one

[Barry Stokes]

I'm running the above on an office network using linksys
equipment with a PSU4U print server. Three of four
computers can print fine (2 windows 98; 1 XP Home
edition); our newest computer, a Dell Inspiron 5100
running Window XP Professional, cannot. When I try to
connect the dell to the print server, the 4110 printer
icon gets removed from the printer and faxes folder. It
appears, from observing the hard drive activity, that
connecting to the print server port automatically
uninstalls the printer software from the Dell. This
happens whether I try to make the connection throught the
Linksys install CD or through the print properties, port
tab for the printer. Without the printer software
installed on the Dell, printing cannot occur.

I've contacted Linksys, who had no solutions for this
problem and looked in the Microsoft knowledge base with
no luck there either. Anyone have some suggestions???
Thanks! Barry

I have an HP 6110xi, and have tried a couple of different print servers.
They are touchy, I finally gave up, and set up all the drivers, and one of
my computers is the print server. I don't like doing it that way, but it is
fast, and all 6 computers can print to it.

I had one computer printing to the print server, but it was extremely slow,
the 98 machine locked up the router when I attempted to print, so I gave up.

I wish you all the luck

Steve

Thanks Steve. Appreciate your comments. I'm currently
sharing the printer from another computer on the network
so I can print from the laptop but that is not working
that well (slow). Maybe one of the Microsoft
professionals will read this and perhaps steer me in the
right direction. Barry
