Doesn't help me. The advice is basic my problem is more obscure hence my
'cry' for help.

As a starting point can anyone advise the meaning of the message 'The handle
is invalid' that I receive when I try to print?

Thanks Tom I'll give it a try again! As I have tried so many iterations I
can't precisely remember whether I have done exactly as you suggest but
suspect I have.

I have removed all printers and drivers from both the Host and Client
machines, reinstalled the driver (Host machine), tested printing then
enabled share on both machines. Initially (first attempt), I can print from
the Client (laptop), thereafter I get the message 'The handle is invalid'
when printing from Notepad and a longer message to the effect the printer is
not available in Word. What I find puzzling is while the applications won't
print, the applications do in fact see the shared printer.
