Printer showing on network but displaying error
We have 3 laptops on the network. The network is functioning properly, and
the printer is attached to "Latop A". "Laptop B" and "Laptop C" can see the
printer, but the status is showing "error" as opposed to "Ready". I've made
sure the sharing is setup correctly on "Laptop A".
Any ideas what I am missing here?
Thanks.

Re: Printer showing on network but displaying error
You probably need to install the printer's drivers on all the computers that
are going to use it.
Usually it is done by going trough the Ad-on Printer in the Control
Panel/Printers. Choose Ad a Network printer and be ready with the Drivers
CD.
