I have 4 PCs running Win98 connected by a switch (and then on to the lan from there). They all belong to the same workgroup and share a printer connected to 1 of the PCs. I have no problem printing individually, but when I try to print from 2 at the same time, I get something like "Port in use, please try again...". I assumed the PC hooked to the printer would spool the jobs in a queue. Is this incorrect? Does anyone know how to correct this issue?

Thanks is advance for your help!
