Printing from domain to workgroup
We use Windows XP workstations in a domain. We have 1
Win98 computer that cannot be upgraded due to software incompatibility issues. The Win98 computer shares a printer via file & print services. I can see the computer and the printer from a WinXP workstation and install it successfully. When I try to print to it, the PC locks up for about 50 seconds then it prints and the PC is fine. If I send another print job immediately, it prints fine with no delay or lock up. If I wait about an hour then print, it locks up again and I have to wait for the print job. I'm assuming this is because the Win98 PC is not part of the domain and the WinXP PC is having problems finding it. I tried adding the Win98 PC to the hosts and lmhosts file, but that did not help. Does anyone have any suggestions? |
