some computers can' t find printer

Posted: 06-14-2006, 04:38 PM
Hi

We are running Windows server 2003 on XP Pro machines using a Linksys
router. All stations are hard wired with the exception of the laptop.

The problem I am having is certain machines cant find a shared printer on
another work station, while others can. I can see the all the work stations
and access files. One of the computers that cant find the printer is the
laptop.

I have checked the guest account and it's enabled on the machine with the
shared printer. the printer is correctly ( I believe installed) as it does
work on the stations that can find it. I have also attempted to link to it
by the connect to this printer option with no success. I can ping the
machine that has the printer installed on it. I can also print to it from
the server, so the problem is apparently a setting on a few work stations.

Any ideas appreciated.

Rick
