Cannot Browse the PrintNet on the Network
• Have you looked under the right Windows workgroup? By default, the
PrintNet will be found under “WORKGROUP.”
• Are you able to browse other Windows stations and devices on the
network from this same station?
• Has this Windows station been given enough time to update its
registry so it can see this newly added workgroup device? Sometimes
Windows stations can take considerable time, depending on the size
of the network.
Printer Errors when Printing or No Output
• Is there a large job currently printing taking up all of the printer
resources? Usually when printing from Windows 95 stations, a busy
printer can cause Windows to display a printer error message. This is
because it demands immediate printer attention rather than holding
the data until the printer is ready again. The best way around this is to
use a central spooling station like an NT server.
• Have you tried restarting the spooler under “Control Panel:Services”?
Sometimes this is needed to get printing started.
NOTE: As a last resort, you may want to reboot the Windows station.
Sometimes this is the only option to completely clear this
situation. The PrintNet usually has nothing to do with this
problem.
