Problem with printer sharing

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

I mean, when I try to link it as a network printer, all windows boxes can
see the print in the directory, but only Windows 2003 can link with it, none
of Windows XP can link, the error message is

Windows cannot connect to the printer, Either the printer name was typed
incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server.
For more information, click Help.


Thanks.

Ray
