I think this is a driver or spool issue, but not sure. Here it is:
1. Small office network of 4 computer using a an 8 port switch. 2. One printer is physically connected to a Dell WinXP machine and is "shared". 3. Another computer that is to use this printer is Compaq w/ WinXP. 4. Printer is showing on both machines and is set as default (2 other printers are also on the network). 5. If I try to print on either machine, it doesn't print --BUT if I reboot the computer that has the printer physically connected to it, all the pages that were waiting to be printed finally get printed. 6. This occurs during boot up at about the time the drivers are being loaded before the Welcome screen appears. 7. Any ideas?
