Can't print over network between WinXP & Win2K machines
What I've got:
A Dell Dimension 8100 desktop running Win2K; An HP LaserJet 1200 connected to the above via USB; An IBM R40 Thinkpad running WinXP; A D-Link wireless router connecting the 8100 & R40 via wireless network; NO printer server hardware/software. Using XP's "Add Printer" wizard on my Thinkpad seems to add the LaserJet to its list of available printers just fine, but printing fails with a generic print job status "error." One-page test prints show up on the que as MULTIPLE pages, so it looks like a driver problem. However, no matter how I set up permissions for the LaserJet on the 8100, I cannot manually add or change the printer's driver from Thinkpad---the "New Driver" button is always grayed-out. I have a spare Dell laptop running Win2K, just like the 8100, and using the "Add Printer" wizard, I'm able to print just fine from LaserJet over the network. Help! GDogg |
