We have a color printer which is shared on an NTWS our servers are still NT. I have some WS running W2K. When they ty to conect to the printer, they return an error message saying " cannot print to the printer". IT happens on 50% of the W2K Pc's while others work fine!!! HELP!!

NTWS can only handle 10 concurrent connections. In other words, if you set up more than 10 workstations to print to the shared printer on the NTWS, some of them will be unable to print.

you will have to load the print drivers locally and print to the lpt port of the computer with the printer. Standard printer sharing will not work with win 98 and win 2k because the drivers are so different.
