Topic: Two Questions -- Printers -- Shares

[edlentz]

I am running ver 7pre, I connected up one of our USB printers, an Epson CX4600.   I connected to it fine from 3 WinXP Home machines, they printed to it fine, until they rebooted, then we needed to reinstall.  Basically the same thing is happening with ibays and the file sharing.  Is there something I am missing that is really Basic ??

Thanks for any help

Could you expand on "then we needed to reinstall. Basically the same thing is happening with ibays and the file sharing"

Sorry about that.  In order to get the printer to work from the XP Home Client I needed to uninstall the printer on the client and reinstall.  The client couldn't find the shared printer.  I am sure this is a basic thing but I haven't been able to wrap my head around this yet.  It must be something with the XP Home client logon but as I said I can't seem to get it straight.

Thanks

If it's more than just the one printer that won't work, I think you should submit a bug report, with as much detail as possible.

It's just one printer at the moment, but I want to connect an older Dot matrix printer as soon as I get this issue resolved.  No comment on the Ibay problem?  Should I use a netlogin script on the XP Home nmachines?
