XP Printing to Shared ME Printer
I have a small network with a Lexmark Z22 Shared on an ME machine. All of the
computers are networked through a 4 port Netgear wireless router. All of the 98 machines can print to the printer with no problems. I have a Dell Lattitude laptop (wireless) that originally had XP Pro Service pack 1. This computer had no issue setting upor printing. Since then I have added SR2 and Norton w/ Security (Win firewall disabled) Still no problems printing. I just aquired a Dell Inspirion laptop (Wireless) Win XP Home SR2. I have tried to setup the shared printer. I can see the printer on the computer and the printer installed, but when I print to it it did nothing. Sent a test page and it quickly gave back an error that it couldn't print. Double checked all of the printer settings between the 2 dells and found no differences. I have since downloaded Lexmark driver for XP and it tried to install after downloading. It made it most of the way through the install then gave an error saying that it could not connect to the printer. "windows cannot connect to the printer. either the printer name was typed incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server. for more info, click help" The shared name is PRINTER. I have turned off Windows Firewall, still does not work (Now that I used the downloaded Lexmark driver it always tries to use that file setup for that printer -- so I get an install that ends with the connection error and no printer gets installed). Any help would be appreciated |
