Any hints about troubleshooting etc would be greatly appreciating, the
constant reformatting is doing my head in!
 
Thankyou, i've found that website very helpful! Is now on my desktop ;-)

The main problem I'm having at the moment though is that it is between two
computers at work, so both have the same printer settings. The only
difference I can spot is one is a laptop whereas the other is a PC.
 
If the OS is different, the printer driver will be different, sometimes not
noticeably. And it can make a difference whether you use the Windows driver
or one supplied by the printer manufacturer.

I assume both computers are using the same printer on a network. Do
both computers have the same version of the printer driver software?
To check (there may be shorter paths, but I know this works, at least
in Windows XP):

- Click Start > Settings > Printers & Faxes.
- Click the menu item File > Server Properties.
- Click the Drivers tab.
- Double-click the printer in the list to open the Driver Properties
dialog.
- In that list, double-click the Driver File item to open its
Properties dialog.
- Click the Version tab.
- In the 'Other version information' area, click File Version and
Product Version, and write down the numbers you see.
