Thanks for the clarification, I'm not quite sure what to try next...
maybe I'll boot the W2K partition, install the printer on it and see
what happens with that. I thought that maybe there was some sort of
USB/sharing issue originally but now I'm at a bit of a loss. Thanks
again for all your help.

I have watched this thread and did not respond because I had nothing
to offer at that time, but it seems you are now clutching at straws so
I will provide a few.
1. Are you using the built in XP networking functionality? Or are you
using Novell or similar?
2. At the beginning of the thread there was a debate about whether the
drivers should be installed on each PC or not, whilst I have no direct
experience with networking this printer I can emphatically advise that
the generic answer is "sometimes", it depends on the printer driver
design. Some printers when networked will load the drivers from the
host PC and some will request the CD with the drivers on, which one
applies to your printer I do not know. What is clear is that each PC
can see the printer. If you go to control panel/printers and right
click on the printer icon (on a remote PC) is the printer reported as
either offline or paused? If either is so that is incorrect. In fact
if the icon is greyed out that is also incorrect. Sorry if this is
basic but sometimes the swamp hides the 'gators!
3. What cvt advised is technically correct but I have seen some very
strange phenomena with USB hubs and whilst you are not using a hub I
wonder whether you are right in suspecting the usb card. Is it easy to
disable the card and use the internal USB port just as a test? I have
a scanner that works perfectly with any internal usb port but will not
work through 2 different makes of powered USB hubs, I have also had a
printer that works fine through a D-Link hub but not a Belkin hub. So
it is worth pursuing the usb direction I think. 4. When you install
the printer on a remote PC, do you see any file transfer activity from
the host (loading drivers from the host) or altenatively do you have
to insert the CD? One of these should occur since your printer is not
natively supported by WinXP.
5. When you installed the printers on the remote PC's did you use add
printer and search for the networked printer or did you use some other
method? Out of ideas for now.
Good luck, please advise how you get on.
Tony


I'll add one thing..
If you want to see the file transfer, but not sure how, DUmeter is the
simplest way, and a nice little app to have, alternatively use task
manager.

I'll stick with my its not usb :P
your again talking local issues, whereas he is fine local, just not
remote, but one can always be proven wrong, thats my thesis on this :).
Theres no harm in trying, but I don't beleive it to be the source of the
problem.
