Printer messages to client rather than server ?

Hi,

I am sure that this should be simple, but I have looked through loads of
places and haven't found the answer ...

We have a LAN with a couple of Win2K servers on it.

One of the servers has printers attached to it which are then shared.

When any client machine (mainly Win2K but some WinXP) prints and there
is an error (out of paper etcetce) the alert message pops up on the
concole of the Win2K server and not on the client's machine where I
would expect it to.

It sounds like this ought to be a very quick flag somewhere, but the
answer has been playing hide and seek with me for a while...

Cheers

Graham

p.s. The printers are connected via TCP/IP to the Win2K server which
then shares them. If I setup a printer on each users' machine connecting
to the TCP/IP address, then who does the spooling ? I assume its up to
the printer ...
 
Hi,

Anyone got any thoughts about this ? It seems like it ought to be simple
....

Cheers

Graham
