Ok, here it is in a nutshell, from my case notes:
No one can print to this machine on the
network, unless she prints first. The printer
is attached directly to this machine(Win2k)
There are 3 machines total on the network. User
tried to install additional drivers. User says
that this is Win2k, the other systems are
Windows 98. User trying to install the Win98
drivers to solve the problem, but cannot get it
work. The printer driver is not compatiable
with your version of Windows. Explained to user
that this would not work. It has not ever
worked correctly, she must print first, doesn't
matter what program they use. The printer is a
Xerox XD100, it's a laser printer. User did not
setup the network herself. She brought the
question to the person who setup the network,
but he could not figure it out. No matter what
software they use, she MUST print first on the
Win2k PC, before ANY of the other two machines
can print. She also had Windows 98 before, and
they never had a problem. It only started when
this machine was replaced her old machine on
the network. They shutdown the systems at
night, and they power them up when they get in,
she will print first, after that, the machines
will print fine the rest of the day.
I've tried looking around on the net, but cannot seem to find any information.(That or I'm not using the correct search string to find some info) Anyways, any help would be appreciated, I love a challenge, and will be actively trying to find information, but I know when I'm licked.
Thanks in advance
