We have 3 systems connected via a Linksys router - DSL
works fine on all three, but can't seem to get the HP
OfficeJet to print on either the sys running 2000 Prof or
Win98. I have printer sharing enabled on my sys (running
XP Home) and the 2000 sys can see the shared printer in
the printers folder (but not in Network Places), as well
as the shared docs file (which is in Network Places), but
it still gives the basic "error found when printing..."
msg. We are using HP's default printer port DOT4_001.
Ran every wizard I could find, I think... Am I missing
something real simple here?

Any link or observation would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
UPDATE: I ended up fixing this! I had to "add a new
port" for each client system's printer properties i.e.,
\\servername\printername\dot4_001. Check the box to use
that port and TA-DAAH!
