Please help a newbie finding his way!!! last month I did not have a net
work!!!! & I have never seen a server before, only windows 95,98,2000,XP etc

HP 6100 All-in-One + Epson Stylus Photo attached to the Windows 2003 Server
on the USB ports,
Print Server is Running & re-starting the "print spooling" has not made a
difference
Windows 2003 Server & 6 XP Pros, all are able to print except one, which was
able to print before.
I didn't think it would be a problem because this PC was due to be
re-installed today! However after installing a brand new copy of XP Pro SP 2
the problem remains. I have uninstalled the printer from the server &
reinstalled it again, the hp6100 disappears (from the office machine) when
un-installed & reappears when re-installed (set as default) yet I am unable
to print from the Office PC.. also it seams that I can not send E-Mails that
have attachments, & connections to other members of the Domain are jerky @
my network places

Permissions are unchanged & the user of the office machine is a member of
the domain users & admin etc
the printers are in published in the Active Directory

I can send a test e-mail from Outlook & it pops back in to the inbox almost
straight away but when I send an attachment, say a PDF or a jpg etc my mail
just sits in the out box & dose not send?
 
For the machine that can't connect to the printer knock it off the domain
and put it as a workgroup of the same name. There are all kinds of security
issiues with domains and all that mess and with microsofts server software,
it works. Then you can connect them back to there other compoenets or dirves
by leaving them on the workgroup. Now if you have software that requires
domain builds, then try making a local account on the machine that's the same
as the domain account, that works sometimes too.
