Hi Guys,

Please help me before I throw my computers and my printer out of the ferkin window

The setup is:

Windows 2003 Server > [USB] > Lexmark X1180 Printer

Laptop > [WIRELESS] > Linksys Router > [ETHERNET] > Windows 2003 Server

Network is working fine, can access files from the shared folders, from either machine.

I have added the Lexmark printer to the Laptop as a network printer, and it is being shared by the Server.

I can send a document to print and it shows up in the printer manager on bothe the Laptop and the Server. The problem is that it never bl**dy prints!!
I can't cancel the job either, if I choose the document and then tel l the print manager to cancel it (from either machine) it changes the status to "Deleting - Printing" and then does nothing else.

I have had this setup working in the past, I've actually managed to print documents without any problems. every now and then this happens. The only way that I can clear the print manager is to completely reboot the server (obviously not ideal).

Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp! (Please

)
