Xp and Network Printing

[Scott Lilly]

Hi,

I have an issues with two XP clients on a P2P network.

Both cannot print to a particular HP Network printer when one of the 2000
clients is switched off.

The HP is connected the network via a Parallel to Lan converter and has a
static IP - and as far as I can see both XP pro machines have set themselves
to look at that - but when one particular machine is switched off they both
cease printing to this printer.

The P2P network is approaching 10 computers, but I'm not sure I'd pinpoint
it's growing size as the issue.

The printers were setup by installing from a share setup on the server...

Any suggestions?
