Dose she printer come with Ethernet or you connect it to the server?

Let me try this again, typed this all out and it kicked it out with
an error.....i have a server 2003, on a domain, 10 workstations,
with a given number sharing printers. All workstations are windows
xp pro, mix of service
pack 2, upgraded service pack 3, and built on service pack 3. On
some systems the list in directory, is not an option when installing
the printer,
but on some can still browse or run the unc name and see the
printer, 1 system, service pack 2, installed a new printer, list in
directory works great, all systems can attach, on a upgraded to
service pack 3 system, list
in directory is not an option, can not access it from any
workstation. Im also going to have to rename the systems from
specific names to generic work
functions, for ex workstation name, outside-sale, username quote. There
are only 10 workstations, so at any given system only 9 others
are attaching,
so i know im not exceeding the 10 connection limit....any
suggestions???


Yes - there's no 10-connection limit unless the print server is running
WinXP Pro. Additionally, note that SBS questions should be posted in
microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs. I find the OP's post a bit unclear and
suspect more details may be required.
