Re: Connetion issues wi networked printers connected on XP boxes?

Thanks - that sorta worked. As I started typing in the printer names, a
drop-down box appeared wi the names of all the printers connected to the XP
box. I suspect there's a print driver issue which I'll have to address with
the vendors (HP, Epson, and Samsung)

Hmm, I think there may be a bug here. I've gotten 64-bit driver
installations from the printer vendors. Using them, everything proceeds as
though the printer is installing. However, when completed, a view of the
available printers doesn't show the installed printer
