Hi,

Have above printer running on a workgroup network connected to 1 pc via usb, works ok on host machine but for some reason it won't share with other pc's. It appears when adding printer but test page print "hangs" the client, if I print a test page from the host it clears the client problem but doesn't print the test page, only prints host test page. Also noticed if I go to properties on the client it says drivers are not installed even though they have been installed. Test print does send a file to the spooler but for some reason it doen't print, it's as if the print file from the client isn't closing correctly. Anyone seen this before?

Thanks

Mick

Are all of the PC's using the same OS? Are they all in the same workgroup?

Yes all pc's are in same workgroup and all running XP. Really strange problem, there is also an Epson on one of the other pc's which I was able to share without any trouble.

Uninstall the printer and software from the host computer. Reboot and reinstall the software/drivers using the manufacturer procedure. Reboot and setup printer sharing.
