Hey, I have all my computers running on one network. they can all see each other and access each other fine. On one of the computers I have a printer set up. It is set up so it is to be shared. When going to "Add Printer" I can see the printer fine from other computers, but it cannot connect. I get an error:
"Windows cannot connect to the printer. Either the printer name was typed incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server. For more information, click Help"
I am selecting the printer from a list, and it still gives me that error. I also try typing in the printer name as follows:\\GATEWAY\hp officejet 6100 series - just as its listed, and I still get the same error.
The computer with the printer is running Windows 2000 while all other machines are running XP. All computers can connect to the Windows2000 machine just fine, but it cannot print thru it. Any ideas? And yes the Windows2000 machine can print fine.
Thanks in advance!
