this is for a client of ours
they have a 2000 server with 8 xp machins in a domain
the had auto update turned on and windows xp SP2 was
installed
since then only the computer with the printer attached to
it can print
we have diabled the internet firewall on all the machines
but it didnt help
i know XPSP2 was supposed to be perfect an everything (j/k)
 
Please post this to a networking group. Since the computer with the
printer attached will print, the issue involves printing across the
network.

e.g. microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web

As a test, you could try removing the printer drivers from one of the XP
workstations and rebooting followed by a reinstall. Just a shot in the
dark but perhaps worth trying. Also see a post by Greg Lirette on
28.8.2004 and see if it has any application to your situation.

SP2 was supposed to increase security for most users and fix some
problems. In my lifetime, I doubt if I shall ever see anything that
works perfectly but I live in hope.
