Default Problem printing over the network - solved

I've been having a problem printing from my Windows 98 computer to my
Brother HL1450 printer which is connected to the USB port on my
Toshiba labtop running Windows XP Pro. The two computers are
networked over Ethernet and all the other network functions work just
fine. When I try to print, the printer will print only one page (or
none at all) of multi-page jobs. Then data light on the printer just
stays lit after that and does not print the remaining data in the
printer's print buffer (assumably because it did not receive a full
page of data or a page-feed). This only occurs when printing from my
Windows 98 machine over the network. When I connect the printer
directly to the USB port of my Windows 98 machine, everything works
just fine.

Anyhow, after searching Google Groups, I tried the Microsoft
resolution of a print spooler problem (KB810894). I only performed
the first step of the recommended process -i.e. I deleted all of the
files in 'c:\windows\system32\spool\printers' of my windows XP
computer.

Then I rebooted my computer. The and Windows recognized my printer
and automatically installed the driver and set it up. Everything
worked like a charm from then on...
