Default XP Network Shared HP2200

Hi there. Hope someone can help. I have a smallish school
network which I look after and I have been moving the PCs
onto XP pro. I have one user though who has problems
printing to a HP 2200. When she first logs on everything
is fine and she can print but after a while Windows will
error with "You are not authorised to use this printer"
or such like.

I've checked her security permissions and added her
exclusivly to the pinter but still no joy!

Can anyone suggest anything? Thanks.

By smalllish, how many PCs are we talking about. XP Home has a limit of 5
PCs, XP Pro has a limit of 10. If the one user is the 11th PC, she will
have to wait until one of the other 10 has logged off.

No solution, other than to move to a Server-Client network by using
something like the Windows Small Business Server which supports up to 49 PCs
and the Server. More than 49 and you're going to have to go with the full
'grown up' Windows 2003 Server family.
