I can share files between both and have ip and netbios protocals installed. I can see the printer in net hood but cannot access it. Error is bad name or lost net connection. Neither is correct. I can't access by ip or name. I'm lost, any idea's please?
 
yes its less than the number you mention. I usually use the mfg and model as the name i.e HP720

Infact that is the type of printer, I've deleted it and reinstalled it with a replacement drv from I386 dir. Still same deal, I can see it but cannot access it. But I can access the drive shares on the same machine.

I'd try another printer if I had one handy but don't so I don't know what to try. Maybe put the prn on the other machine and share it back

Any other idea's

Thanks Dan
