Windows 7 print sharing problem-HELP
Windows 7 professional x64 operating system to which I have connected an older Lexmark Z11 printer on LPT1 port. Windows 7 found proper driver and printer works perfectly from that machine. I have tried to share this printer on the other computers on my home network (3 other computers, 1 wireless laptop running Windows XP-x32, 1 hardwired desktop running W7 Prof x64 and one wireless desktop running W7 Home x64). All computers are in the same "workgroup". I have connected all other computers to this "printer on another networked computer" and the process on all 3 of these machines appears to identify the shared printer, loading drivers etc. My problem is that ONLY the XP machine is able to print on this printer. The windows 7 machines send the data to the printer, but I only see the information "spooling" with nothing actually being printed. I actually have to go into the printer queue and cancel the job. Please Help! I can share files between all the computers in the workgroup. (connected through a Linksys WRT54G router)
