There's deginitely something going on with Win XP printing
that MS isn't talking about. I have a similar setup. My
Win ME machine has the printer connected to it and prints
just fine (although recently it disappears from the
installed printer list - but that's probably a sympton).
However, when I try to print from my Win XP machine that
is networked via cat 5 cable (and can see and share files
and the the printer) it gives me the following error"
Cannot create a file when the file already exists" At
first I thought it was a networking error but the network
is working fine. I just don't know what the problem is and
don't want to try further troubleshooting. :(

Yes they can and they are all from the same workgroup.
