Just been given a colour laser printer, which i am trying to set up as a stand alone printer on the network.

Im running Xp and can see the ip of the printer 192.168.......64

I can ping the printer but when i try to print, it says no printer found.

I ran the setup disks and it set up a print spooler and set the printer up (so i thought)

I found a guide on the web, which helped but it appears I have a tcp mb problem. so i deleted the files from the system32 folder but with no success.


Any ideas

you may be required you to set up a tcp ip port to print to the printer.

This document covers what I am referring to www.musc.edu/infoservices/lynx/ip_printing.pdf

Thats what it wont let me do, it says tcp.mb is not available (or similar)



then it just hangs.. ive tried deleting them from the root folder, with no luck

TCP/IP may be corrupt, to put it back to its default state, run up a command prompt as administrator and type the following.

netsh int ip reset c:\log.txt

Tried that, with no joy,

i managed to get it to work by setting up the network as the port and finding it from there

got both laser printers running now
