Need Help Adding Network Printer
In a 6-computer network connected by a router, I have one HP LaserJet 4 Plus
printer connected to one computer. It works fine as a local printer on the computer it's attached to. It also works fine on 4 other computers in this network. I had no trouble Adding it as a network printer on those 4 computers, and it works fine on all of them. However, as it now stands, one computer will not let me add it because it keeps insisting that "The printer name is invalid." That's very strange because it's identical to the printer name that appeared in the Add Printer Wizard, Browse for Printer dialogue on the other 4 computers. I shall very greatly appreciate your help on this frustrating problem. -- With kindest regards, Dick Smith |

Need Help Adding Network Printer
XP Home is limited to 5 connections. XP Pro to 10. If you are running XP
Home, you are running into the limitations of connectons and the only remedy would be to upgrade to Pro. Cari www.coribright.com "AA Smith" wrote in message ...
