can't print to shared printer

1)I have a win2000 domain controller that 3 win95 machines log into. 2)1 win95 machine has a printer hooked to lpt1 shared as okidata. 3)I have created a port on the other 2 win95 machines to print to \\brian\okidata 4)When I try and print to \\brian\okidata I get an error something like:Too many print jobs pending. Wait for some of them to print and try again. 5)There are no jobs pending as far as I can tell. The machine it is hooked locally to can print fine. The two other win95 machines can't.

I came across a problem on a job site with Okidata printers and Windows 95 - the user had the LPT1 port set to EPP in the BIOS and it should be ECP. That is one place to check.

also try unplugging the printer's power, and restarting the Brian computer.
I've seen that message before once when the PC froze up and was shut down improperly, and the print job just kinda got stuck in the printer's memory. It caused problems on and off for a week until it was powered off and on again...

I found that if I changed the share name then changed it back it fixed the problem. However the problem came back after about 24hours and I had to do it again. Any ideas?
