After upgrading to XP Home, I was able to set up network printer (Compaq C3-1000), but when I try to print I recieve error "Unable to create file when that file already exists". The output show as spooling while this error is displayed, but then disappears after I click OK. I am able to print to this printer from an Win ME machine on the network where the printer is USB direct connected. I did not have this problem prior to the upgrade.

I checked Microsoft's support sites for this error, but am unable to see a fix that applies to my setup.
