Win98 print server HPLJ1300

[Darrell]

Small home network. WinXP & Win98 to a router. The HP
Laserjet was on LPT1 of Win98. I decided to buy a Netgear
PS110 print server. I took the laserjet off Win98 and
connected it to the print server. The print server is
connected to the router. I can print from WinXP w/ no
problems. I can print a test page from Win98 w/ no
problems. The problem occurs when I print from an MSDOS
based application. It sometimes work. When it doesn't, I
have to reboot the Win98 system. When it comes up, a
window pops up and ask me if I would like to print the
jobs in queue. I press yes and all the jobs start coming
out. Please advice.
Thanks,
Darrell
