Prince of Calcutta Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 did you try restarting in safe mode and having a look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Smith Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 One other thing you could try, is to create an account on the xp machine with the same user name and password as the 2k machine (may be worth setting this as an administrator as well to see if you can then access the printer functions). Then log out and back on on the 2k machine and see if this makes a difference. At least we may find out if this problem is account related.Mr. M.

Tony Posted March 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Ok First of all i would like to say a big thanks to the people that have tried to help with this problem.IT IS WORKING NOWHow i don't know.I cleared every thing to do with the printer off of both systems, Then installed the latest drivers for the printer onto the xp system (Host), i then added the printer to the w2k system and told it where it was on the network.And it still did not workSo i just kept repeating what i had done, in the hope that i missed something, I missed nothing.After about the 4-5 time of doing this it worked, why it worked this time and not before i have no clue.I will just put it down to one of them Windows/computer glitches.Thanks againAll the bestTonyPS Prince :- i did have a look for the security tab when in safe mode, But there is no printer installed at all when in safe mode.

Prince of Calcutta Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 excellent. must have just been a driver problem then.. maybe use the updated drivers if you do a windows reinstall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
