RE: Printing issue

2008-12-17 Thread Tony Volpe 
Not too long ago,  I assisted at a company that upgraded 210 
workstations from Win 2000 to XP Pro.  Of the 210, 6 had issues and 2 
were printer related (network printers).
Upgrading would avoid reinstalling the software which would be very 
time consuming.
I am trying to avoid a clean install.
Thank you for the input

No.  I have not tried the Laserjet Series II, but I fear that I will
get the same (a) it installs as shared and (b) goes to offline as did
the Laserjet 4 and Laserjet 5/5m

I did an upgrade from Windows 2000 to Windows XP Pro on two Dell 
GX270s. Both upgrades went smoothly.  One has a Laserjet 1200 
attached by the parallel port (LPT1) and it worked well.  The other 
has a Laserjet 5 also connected to the parallel port with a 
centronics cable.  It will not take the Laserjet 5 drivers with Add 
Printer (error). After may efforts to install the Laserjet 5 , tried 
the Laserjet 4. It took the driver and it  print out the test page 
then went immediately 'offline'.  The offline feature is not 
checked.  It  also showed  up as shared.  If I shut off the share, 
the Icon show ready then goes immediately to offline.

Suggestions please
