HI there....we are running Win98 on 15 laptops. All are configured the same. We use the Microsoft Netware client to log onto a Novell network. In the last two weeks...we have been getting printing errors from a few of the machines. The errors happen at anytime. The unit will print...then two minutes later when the user tries to print again...he gets the message. The message says the printer is offline printing will resume when the printer is online again. When I clear the que and try to reinstall the printer I get the same message...that the printer is offline. This however is not the case. I've been installing the Novell client32 to correct this until I find another answer....any ideas??? Thanks bunches.
 
It sounds like a problem on the Server, either with disk space or possibly memory (you should have at least 128MB installed).
 
We have about 200 computers on the server and this isn't a problem with computers using the Novell client. It only happens when using the MS Netware client.
