Shared printer installation problem

[David]

I have a printer hosted by a WinXP machine and it's shared. When I attempt
to install the printer on Win2K "clients" the installation process crashes
with a "DKAAP2PI.EXE" error at the point where I indicate the path to the
print queue on the WinXP machine.

The error goes on to read that an instruction at some location referenced
memory that could not be read. Is this a problem with printing from Win2K
to printers that are hosted by WinXP or is it more likely a driver problem?

Thanks for any assistance.

David

this is a driver issue. Contact Dell.

Alan,

Thanks for the help. If I were to use a Microsoft-supplied PCL driver in
place of the Dell driver, do you have any idea which one would be most
appropriate?

Thanks again.

Is this the Dell 1700N? If not what is the model? I'll ping the Lexmark
people here and find out if they have a Lexmark to Dell comparison.

I would think the inbox Lexmark Optra S or T MS drivers would work. Pick
one that has 1200x resolution. I looked at Dell and they have the 1710 now.
Pick one of the Lexmark's with a similar number.

Hi,

I have also just had the same problem happen in the last few days on
two computers running Win2k

Has anyone found a driver or a fix for the problem yet?

Many Thanks

Rich

The following link may be of use to you - I have posted at the end a
solution and a link to a Driver that seems to work.
