Can't print on server, but can print on networked machine

[Guest whitelined]

I have a windows XP Pro server, sharing a ricoh printer/fax/scanner. I

can print from any machine on the network, but printing from the

actual server, it fails to print. I have no idea where to start

looking to solve this problem. Has anyone experienced a similar thing?

 

Many thanks for any help with this.

 

Regards

 

Aaron

First thing: XP Pro is not an official version that is a server grade

version of Windows.

 

Check for all /ant firewall settings and anti-virus Internet worm

module settings. You need to add an exception rule for LAN IP

addresses (192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.254) and File / Printer sharing.
