Strange Win2K printing problem

Comment:
My win2k system prints to a print server over a peer-to-peer network (no dedicated server). All systems (total of 7 machines, some W98,W2K) except one seems to work o.k. My system will print 3 times and then come up that there is a printing error. If I restart the system it will again print 3 times before giving the error message! Any help would be great as this is, at best, frustrating. Thanks

It says:
"Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer set-up. Try one of the following: check the printer by printing a test page from windows Make sure the printer is turned on and on line Reinstall printer driver"
All of the suggestions listed do not work.

Strange indeed :
1) Is there enough free space on that disk ?
2) if not : make free space.
3) CHKDSK /F (scandisk) (Boot again).
4) Defrag W2K
5) Try printing again.
Hope this helps : if yes : pls let me know if not : pls let me know too
GOOD LUCK
