It has almost got me going. Windows now reports the printer as 'ready' however whenever I try and print 'explorer.exe has encountered a problem', or I get 'unable to create print job' any suggestions ?? (The printer is a HP LaserJet 4 using the driver that comes with windows. The printer is also shared on an MS server, and I can print fine from that share)
