| | Print Still not working I setup both the host and the VPC (running WIN2000) for file and print sharing. When I went to add a network printer in VPC I DID find the Host printer that I wanted to use on the list, and chose it. When I went to print something, nothing happened. It just sat there in the queue. Any suggestions? |

| | Re: Print Still not working I did all that. It prints perfectly fine in Host. It is only in the VPC that nothing happens. Pete W.

The fact that the guest is able to add a job onto the host printer's print queue would indicate that there's probably nothing wrong with the networking side of things. If you access the printer's print queue from the host, are you able to kick the job off manually...? What happens if you try to print a document with more than one page...? -- Mark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net |
