Guest timO' Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 I want to lean out the network settings in our two XP pro computers and start over. Both machines (#1 & #2 ) are connected to a DI-DO4 which is fed by the WESTELL DSL router. The Internet connections are fine for both machines. And both are on the 'network', but neither was intentionally designated as a server. It's supposed to be peer to peer. The printer is an HP930c (USB) connected to #2. I have pdf Factorypro and Fineprint installed on #1. We've gone through some hardware changes, and I have not attempted to use the printer for quite a while, until yesterday. When I attempted to print using Word, the HP 930 is not among the choices. I tried to configure the printer and failed. Right now when I open NetworkPlaces from #1 I see my two internal had drive icons when I view workgroup (MSHome) computers, both machines appear BUT When I click on #2; I get an message "//Ladyhawk was not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. the network path was not found" When I click on #1 (my PC) I see icons for C, D, SharedDocs, Printers and Faxes, Scheduled Tasks, AND icons for printers 2,3,4,5,6, and 10. In the #1 printers and faxes folder there are: fineprint, HTML Driver, Microsoft Word Image Writer, PDF driver, PDF Factory pro, RTF driver During the scuffle yesterday I saw something that said my versions of PDF Factory and Fineprint were not server versions. But I am not trying to use these applications to print, and besides there is no server' I have a few books and referred to the XP help and support, but to not avail. I would just as soon wipe out whatever network configurations I have and start over, especially get rid of all those printer icons. But I don't know how. besides some advice any recommendation for on- line resources or a good publication would also be much appreciated. Quote
