Hello and welcome to my wits' end...
I have just upgraded our file server on a peer to peer network to winxp pro. The "print server" (really just another peer which does little but run the printer) is running w95, as is most of the rest of the small network (one client on win98se). Upgrading the other computers (hardware or software) is not currently an option.
When I set up the printer (HP LJ4000 T) on the win xp box as a local printer (which I have to do in order to be able to name it what I need to), everything works fine, until a reboot. Then the printer is listed as Offline, and I cannot bring it back online without re-installing it from scratch. Efforts to do so bring various error messages, none of which want to happen now that I want to transcribe them
.
How can I get the printer to remain "online" after a reboot? Queries for obvious details that I have forgotten to include will be responded to promptly! All suggestions that involve working with current hardware/software will be tried. All suggestions that require further $$ will be considered... I've been working on this for 2 days now and have gotten NOWHERE!!!
