XP networking solution needed!!!!!!
Here is my setup:
I have a desktop (PC1) running Win Me that has a Lexmark X83 printer USB connected to it. This computer (PC1) is ethernet connected (via CAT-5 cabling)to a Linksys Wireless B router that shares cable internet. I also have a portable laptop (PC2) running Win XP Home that is using a Linksys Wireless B notebook card. Now, I set up my network, disabled the ICF on PC2, and enabled printer/file sharing on both PC's. My problem is that I can connect to the Internet and share files with/between both PC's and I can print all day long from PC1. However, I CANNOT print a lick from PC2. I set up the Lexmark X83 (all-in-one) as a shared network printer on PC2 and PC1 and even manually created and installed a local port for it on PC2. Still won't print. I researched on Microsoft FAQ board and found this problem: "Cannot Print from a Portable Computer to a Shared Printer Connected to Windows 98 or Windows Me Server." The explanation listed was as follows: "On a portable computer that runs Windows XP Professional, when you try to print to a shared printer that is connected to a Windows 98- or Windows Millennium Edition (Me)-based home network server, the file does not print. If you go to the printer's Properties dialog box and try to print a test page, the following error message may appear:.... Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print troubleshooter for assistance? Unable to create a print job." Now I know that I am running XP Home and not Professional, but that is tha exact error that I get when I try to print a test page. The solution that they give is as follows: "This behavior can occur if the portable computer has cached domain credentials and Windows XP cannot verify that the computer is in a secure domain environment. Windows 98 and Windows Me cannot provide a secure domain environment for Windows XP." Bottom line.....Can SOMEONE please explain what this means???? Or, can someone please let me know what I need to do to fix this??? Very Respectfully, Greg |

I believe you need to rename the Lexmark printer. When the drivers =
and/or printer software are installed. The printer is named as "Lexmark = X83" (w/o quotes). You will see that there is a space between the word = 'Lexmark' and 'X83'. The printer's name cannot be longer than 13 = characters (maybe it's 11), but definitely there can not be a 'space' in = the name. If you have only one (1) Lexmark printer, just rename the = printer: LEXMARK Also get and install, the latest XP printer drivers from the Lexmark = site. --=20 Add MS to your News Reader: news://msnews.microsoft.com Rich/rerat (RRR News) message rule Previous Text Snipped to Save Bandwidth When Appropriate "navy_contractor" wrote in message = ...

XP networking solution needed!!!!!!
O.K. I have already installed the drivers from the
included disk into the Me and XP home computers. I have also tried different names for the printer (X83, LexmarkX83 with no space, and PRINTER.) I had already done this before posting this problem. If I disconnect the printer from the Me desktop and USB it into the XP laptop it will print like a champ. I also downloaded the newest XP driver form Lexmark and installed it onto the XP computer (after removing the included CD driver) and it didn't help. Do I just need to update my desktop to XP so they are both using the same OS? I am sure that will fix the problem. Also, are these explanations for the "This behavior can occur if the portable computer has cached domain credentials and Windows XP cannot verify that the computer is in a secure domain environment." problem that I am having or are these suggestions to fix the problem itself?

I believe you need to rename the Lexmark printer. When the drivers and/or printer software are installed. The printer is named as "Lexmark X83" (w/o quotes). You will see that there is a space between the word 'Lexmark' and 'X83'. The printer's name cannot be longer than 13 characters (maybe it's 11), but definitely there can not be a 'space' in the name. If you have only one (1) Lexmark printer, just rename the printer: LEXMARK Also get and install, the latest XP printer drivers from the Lexmark site. -- Add MS to your News Reader: news://msnews.microsoft.com Rich/rerat (RRR News) message rule Previous Text Snipped to Save Bandwidth When Appropriate "navy_contractor" wrote in message ... Here is my setup: I have a desktop (PC1) running Win Me that has a Lexmark X83 printer USB connected to it. This computer (PC1) is ethernet connected (via CAT-5 cabling)to a Linksys Wireless B router that shares cable internet. I also have a portable laptop (PC2) running Win XP Home that is using a Linksys Wireless B notebook card. Now, I set up my network, disabled the ICF on PC2, and enabled printer/file sharing on both PC's. My problem is that I can connect to the Internet and share files with/between both PC's and I can print all day long from PC1. However, I CANNOT print a lick from PC2. I set up the Lexmark X83 (all-in-one) as a shared network printer on PC2 and PC1 and even manually created and installed a local port for it on PC2. Still won't print. I researched on Microsoft FAQ board and found this problem: "Cannot Print from a Portable Computer to a Shared Printer Connected to Windows 98 or Windows Me Server." The explanation listed was as follows: "On a portable computer that runs Windows XP Professional, when you try to print to a shared printer that is connected to a Windows 98- or Windows Millennium Edition (Me)-based home network server, the file does not print. If you go to the printer's Properties dialog box and try to print a test page, the following error message may appear:.... Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print troubleshooter for assistance? Unable to create a print job." Now I know that I am running XP Home and not Professional, but that is tha exact error that I get when I try to print a test page. The solution that they give is as follows: "This behavior can occur if the portable computer has cached domain credentials and Windows XP cannot verify that the computer is in a secure domain environment. Windows 98 and Windows Me cannot provide a secure domain environment for Windows XP." Bottom line.....Can SOMEONE please explain what this means???? Or, can someone please let me know what I need to do to fix this??? Very Respectfully, Greg . |

XP networking solution needed!!!!!!
O.K. I have already installed the drivers from the
included disk into the Me and XP home computers. I have also tried different names for the printer (X83, LexmarkX83 with no space, and PRINTER.) I had already done this before posting this problem. If I disconnect the printer from the Me desktop and USB it into the XP laptop it will print like a champ. I also downloaded the newest XP driver form Lexmark and installed it onto the XP computer (after removing the included CD driver) and it didn't help. Do I just need to update my desktop to XP so they are both using the same OS? I am sure that will fix the problem. Also, are these explanations for the "This behavior can occur if the portable computer has cached domain credentials and Windows XP cannot verify that the computer is in a secure domain environment." problem that I am having or are these suggestions to fix the problem itself? NEED MORE HELP!!!!! Greg -----Original Message----- Network driver for the Lexmark. Use your CD from Lexmark to install driver. Share names must be the same. "Rich/rerat" wrote in message ...
