0x000003eb error

[Guest JT]

I am trying to use a HP printer over a home network where the printer is

connected directly to a computer with XP Professional.

 

4 computers that I need to access the printer.

 

1. One with Vista connected to a router and is able to print.

 

2. One with Vista wireless through same router and is able to print.

 

3. One with XP Professional wireless and can't print with the printer.

 

4. One with Vista wireless and can't print with the printer.

 

With 3 and 4 I get the same error 0x000003eb. I have tried using the

printer wizard but the get the same error on both machines. I have tried

setting up using IP address, different printer models - which add the

printer but can't print.

 

I don't believe it is the printer causing the problem as everything went

fine on the other 2 machines I believe it is something to do with the OS on

the other machines. I even used the reovery disks on the Vista machine

which didn't help, so I don't think re installing XP on the other will help.

 

thanks of any assistance
