printing from shared printer on NT

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

hi Linda
Its a Bug as far as i know. HP doesnt have 895c drivers for XP. HP only provide 895c drivers for ME and NT. I have some solution for this. First of all you clean the deivers from NT4 machine and Update your NT4 machine with all necessary updates and all. Then install the printer on NT4 machine and try remapping the printer on XP clients.

If it doesnt help you can also try installing the 895c printer drivers on XP clients itselves and try reconnecting the printer from NT machine. The 895cse and 895cxi drivers can also be used to workaround the problem ( Inbox in XP ).
let us know.

Thanks
