Hello All,
I have a home network set up as follows:
#1: (Len-pc) pc with vista home premium and a brother printer directly
installed via usb.
#2: (Familypc) pc with xp sp2 and a hp printer directly installed with
parallel cable.
#3: (Amypc) pc with windows me and no printer installed.
#1 (vista) can print to itself and to #2 (xp).
#2 (xp) can print to itself and #1 (vista).
#3 (me) can print to #2 (xp) but *not* to #1 (vista)
When I try to print to #1 (vista) I get the following error in a dialog box...
There was an error writing to \\Len-pc\ Brother HL-5140 for printer (Brother
HL-5140 series): The network printer is no longer available. Contact your
system administrator, or try using a different printer. The printer will be
set to work offline. To save your print job, in the local printer queue,
click ok.
On #3 (me) On the desktop I can doubleclick on *My Network Places* and then
on *Entire Network* and then on *MSHOME*. This will show all 3 computers on
the network. Amypc, Familypc and Len-pc. All is well with Amypc and
Familypc, but when I double click Len-pc iget the following dialog box...
\\Len-pc is not accessible.
This device does not exist on the network.
I am at a loss and would really appreciate any help you may have. I hope I
haven't made this needlessly harder to understand, but I wanted to be as
thorough as possible.
Thank you in advance.
