This is a problem with all deskjets and win2k/nt4 connections. I
verified this with hp quite sometime ago. I thought it was the other way
around, something with the drivers not being compatible. It was a really
stupid excuse by hp, but afterall the deskjet is considered a *home*
printer and is supported as such.

Has anyone been having trouble sharing a DeskJet 990cxi?
I have it connected up to a JetDirect 175X connected to a Windows 2000
server. I can not get NT4 machines to print to it, most troublesome is
our NT4 TS. All Win2K machines print with no trouble. You see the
print job show as spooling then it vanishes and I get an entry in the
Event log saying zero bytes, 1 page printed, when it did not. I had the
same when it was directly connected to an NT4 works station. HP's tech
support have been no help.
Thanks
Stephen
