i have two machines connected via ethernet, 1 windows XP, and one windows 95. the 95 pc has the printer connected to it (Lexmark Z52). I can share file fine, but when it comes to printing... it simply won't on the windows XP machine. i can see the file be sent to the 95 pc, when it arrives it dissappears from the "Document Queue" window and doesn't print, and isn't even saved as a printed file. ..... Please Help !!!

how is your printer connected? ie, did you just install a network printer on XP?
I found the best method was to map the printer on the XP pc.
Go through network neighborhood to the printer>right click and I can't remember if the option is map drive or install printer. But I do know from this window you can "intstall" the printer.
Note: I did this between NT machines, i don't think this matters though.
