Dell A960 Printer Won't print-STATUS=DELETING
Ok, Im not sure where to put this thread. I have a Dell A960 All-in-One Printer installed (Hardwired) onto my Vista Ultimate x64 Machine..I have installed the Drivers for it and it is working fine on this machine... Now, I have an HP Laptop running XP on it, which is connected to my Network, wirelessly. I can see my network and printer and put folders and files into my network folders/computers. It appears that I can print as well, as when I print, the window pops up and says "Printing". Problem: It won't print! I go into my Printer in my Vista Machine and it shows in the status "Deleting" The Printer is "shared" What do I need to do????? Thanks in advance!! -- Homeuser |

What Manny said. The printer drivers must be installed on every computer you
want to be able to us the shared printer. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "Homeuser" wrote in message ... Ok, Im not sure where to put this thread.

USING the XP computer... go to the mfr website, download XP drivers and install them as if it was a stand-alone machine. Just for the heck of it, disconnect the XP machine from your network before installing. |
