My first thought is that a new print server might be in order.

Having had loads of problems with Netgear print servers we decided to ditch
them and get network printers, problems i experienced were as follows Print server would stop responding unless powered down then back up again Job's would disappear and not get printed Slow printing speed Loss of communication on network so we could not even see the print servers Incompatibility issues with some Epson printers You may be best looking for a firmware update for your print server, either that or ditch the lot and by a network ready printer, saves you a lot of time and hassle "ossie bacchus" wrote: Hi chaps, wonder if you can help Got a home network with three pc's two with XP home and the other running 98 conected to a netgear rp614 router. problem is I can't print ( well i can) let me explain.

I have a Hawking print server and haven't had problems with it.
It has 1 parallel and 2 USB interfaces. Works great and cheap, too. Chris "ossie bacchus" wrote in message ...
