Default Lexmark Printing in WindowsXP to a Z32 Attached to a Windows2000 Server

Thanks for the information but I had tried all that already. I tried it
again just in case. It is very strange. I attempted to use the Microsoft
Troubleshooter and it kept indicating that there was a Network connection
problem Which is interesting because there are other times when WinXP has
indicated a Network problem, yet I am logged in and can browse the server?
I use Offline Files and it incidates that I am no longer connected to the
server. If I click to check status it sycronized and then the disconnect
notice is eliminated.

I need to explore the overall picture first. Perhaps this printing problem
will also be fixed as well.

Thanks again
Mark

Install the XP drivers on the XP computer. Make sure that
the printer is indicated as a shared printer on the
computer that it is attached to. Install the printer as a
network printer by searching for the printer on the
perperties section. That way you have the printer on the
proper computer using the proper drivers for the program
that you are using to generate the print file.

Sorry to post this to two similtanous groups, I know I am

not supposed to do
this but since my issue involves both platforms I thought

this might be the
best way to handle it. Here is my issue:



I have a Lexmark Z32 that is attached to LPT1 on my

Windows 2000 (Advanced)
Server. It works perfectly on anything that I print from

the W2K Server.
But when I attempt to print from either of my WinXP

workstations to the
shared printer I have problems.



I have downloaded the XP driver and installed that on the

two workstations.
I have attempted to install the driver in a couple

different ways. First, I
browse to the shared printer and have it install the

drivers. The only
problem here is that it is downloading the NT/2000

driver, not the XP. So I
install the driver manually from the file downloaded from

Lexmark's site. I
point it at the port that was created during the first

install. Still no
luck.



I have tried different Print Processors - both Lexmark

Printing and
WinPrint, still no difference. I have tried using Bi-

Directional Printing
and disabling it. No difference. I did manage to

configure the cartridges
on the XP machine's driver. It appears to want to start

spooling; I even
hear the printer start to move, but then nothing. I get

an error message on
the XP machine and then look at the queue on the W2K

machine, and it is
empty.



Any suggestions here? Has anyone found any settings that

work on this or
any of the other "lower end" Lexmark printers. I was

going to scan Ebay to
see if buying a Lexmark Print Server would make a

difference. I want to
check here first.



Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Mark
