Hello. I have a remote lexmark printer that I can not print to from a local computer. I installed the printer (logical printer) to my local computer but when I attempt to make a test page on the remote printer I only get a blank piece of paper. The network is fine and when I make a test print locally at the computer attached to the remote printer the test print is fine. I am using the correct and current drivers. What could be wrong?

Bob, What operating systems are you using? Is the printer attached through a network queue or as a share off of the computer it's connected to? What protocol are you using? (SPX, TCP/IP, NetBEUI?) Terry

What kind of error message you get? Does it say something like it cannot write to the LPT Port or something like that? Check to see if you have another printer driver on the server that is using the same port as the client is trying to use. If you do then you can do a few things to fix it: 1. Delete one printer drivers on the server or 2. edit the win.ini on the all the clients using the server in the "[spool]" section and add in a line that tells the spooler which printer driver to use.

I know this is very delayed response but I've spoken to Lexmark Tech and they say the printer does not support sharing. "I should have bought the Z11" I have installed the 1100 on a Win95 system and successfully shared it from there to a Win98 client. But it does not work the other direction. The tech could not explain it, just reiterted that the printer does not support sharing.

I want to print to a shared printer conected to a win98 workstation from a unix client can i give an IP address to that printer without conecting it to the network only through teh share? can i print from unix to the share printer without kbowing teh Ip address? only the share name?

Hello , If u have solved the above then i guess u can do this, also. I am un able to share a printer in LAN,and pls refer me the Website for doing the win 98 one Thank you madhu
