Network printer won't delete
-----Original Message----- I setup a network printer in XP Pro, logged in as a PowerUser. I went through Network Places, selected the PC to which the printer was attached, logged on as Guest with the Guest password which I had setup, right clicked on the printer and selected "Connect", and voila! I printed a test page and everything! Well, there were some problems with the printer, so I went into my printers windows and deleted the printer, closed the printer window and repeated the above procedure, which has worked fine on every other machine, btw. I go back into the printer window and there are two instances of the same printer. The status of the first said "deleting" the status of the 2nd said "opening", so I tried to delete both of them. Now they both show a status of deleting. When I added the printer a 3rd time, I still only have the 2 instances, which are both showing they're deleting?! #$^%*@ And I can still print to the printer. . terry, delete the printer from the machine it is attached to after you unplug the printer from the server. you may need administrator priviledges to do so, it depends on how that machine is set up |
