Network (Notwork) Printing

DeskJet 1220C Printer for MS Networking Problem?

I have two printers attached to a W98SE PC by USB. A LaserJet 1150 which works fine across the network and the troublesome Deskjet 1220C, the other two machines on this network are a desktop WXPHome and Laptop running WXPPro

The 1220C is visible to the network, selecting properties and print test page results in a test page printing on all three machines. The printer will print fine from the W98SE machine.

Printing from an application on the other two machines results in the application crashing and shutting down. The following came from Nero Cover designer, it could just as easily come from Excel.

AppName: coverdes.exe AppVer: 2.2.1.11 ModName: ntdll.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.1217 Offset: 0000b2ab

The module appears to be NTDLL?

The supplied CD Rom was used to set up the W98SE machine, the dj1074en was used for the WXP and XPPro machines that are trying to connect to this printer, the original disk not having XP supported drivers on it.

Suggestions?

Now thats odd, if its printing the test page, i cant see why it wont print anything else...

SO the local machine is the only one that can print from any application? And the remote ones cant right???

Have you got any policies setup? to stop other apps using the "local" machine? Also is it set to spool from the local machine or from the remote machine?

Just as a test of data, can you open notepad, type some gibberish (about a lines worth) and try printing that.....

No policies set
Notepad crashes
How do I check the spool location?

My Laserjet is getting testy today - sits on opening as the status.

Hmmm curiouser and curiouser - the Laserjet works fine on one user (Mrs H, but not the other Me.)

What could cause that to occur?

spool setting should be under printer properties on the respective machine

Does each user of an XPhome machine use the same print drivers? If so why does MrsH user ID open the Laserjet 1150 with no problems - click on printers it flashes up opening, then ready, but my profile gets stuck on opening?

Sorted the 1150 printer problem. Deleted the registary entries in my local user profile for printers, XP recreated tehm when it restarted and it sees the printers just fine now.

If only it could print to the DeskJet 1220C that would be fab!
