No more connections available to this machine

[Waqar Abdul Basit]

I have am HP2100 PCL Printer on Windows XP client machine.
I have a Windows 2000 Server and have many clients
including Windows 98, 2000 and XP. Mostly printing is done
smoothly, but sometimes, when a user from any client try
to print it gives error which says "No more connections
are available to this machine..........." I have already
tried for giving maximum connections to this share and
also tried to give a limit of 50 users allowed at a time,
but all in vain. pls. tell me what to do?

kind regards,
Waqar

XP Home is limited to 5 simultaneous connections
XP Pro is limited to 10 simultaneous connections
Windows 2003 Small Business Server is limited to 75 simultaneous connections
Windows 2003 Server is unlimited connections.

Your solution is to move to SBS or a full server.
