Folks: For some reason I cannot see my Epson CX5100 on
another computer on my network. Its a USB printer and
prints fine from computer 1, and it is "shared" ... but,
on computer 2, it does not appear in the available
printers dialogu (nothing does). I can see folders in
computer 1, shared, but no printer?

Help!

With thanks, Robert

Let me quess, You've entered your shared printer's names as
Epson CX5100. Change the shared name to EpsonCX5100 ( No
Spaces ) and try again.
 
I changed the name completely, and it worked! The
original name did have Epson in it (Actually it was LD
Printer Epson CX5100).

Thanks very much Anton. Spent a lot of time in Microsoft
Knowledge Base and nothing came up.
