I am trying to setup a LAN printer on two different workstations. With an identical setup, one prints successfully and the other does nothing. The LAN is 100Mbps and the printer port is set to 10Mbps. The computers - One Dell 420 running NT4 w/SP6; the other is built by Leica (Pent 233MMX) running NT4 w/SP4 (which cannot be changed). The HP printer is configured to use TCPIP.

My setup procedure is to add printer to a local port using the IP address. The Dell works fine but the Leica does not.

HELP!!!

Try this instead. If the printer is working successfully on the Dell, share it on the Dell (this effectively makes the Dell a print server). Then connect it to the Leica as a shared network printer.

you first try to upgrade the SP4 to SP6 on Leica then config the TCP/IP printer by giving some unq. IP address and give the IP address to both of them.
then at the time of installation of Printer don't specify the IP Address for the printer let system search for you then it will work

Assuming that the share is set correctly for the printer, have you:

Tried to ping the printer from the Lecia?
Tried connecting with NETbuei, just to see if it works?
Tried reinstalling it?

See if that helps, if not, we'll try something else.
