I'm not sure if this is a printer driver problem or a network problem. I have 3 computers networked (1 Vista, 2 XP)all using a CP1700 through a jetdirect print server. The vista computer works more or less ok, the 2 XP computers will only print 1 copy of a document no matter how many are requested. Any suggestions?

Solution 1 On the Computer:
Click Start and then go to Printers and Faxes (XP), Printers(Vista), Devices and Printers(Win 7)
1. Right Click on your printer Icon 2. Click Open or See What's Printing 3. Click the option that says Printer on the upper left corner of the window that pops up. 4. Make sure the only thing that is checked under that menu is Set As Default Printer. 5. If Use Printer Offline or Pause Printing has a check mark. Uncheck it.
Try printing again. I hope this helped.
Solution2 On the Printer:
1. Go to Set-up 2. Go to Network Set-Up 3. Choose Restore Network Defaults 4. GO Back and then Choose WIreless Set-Up WIzard




Try printing again. I hope this helped.

Did you define the printers and printer ports to the laptops?


On the XP laptop go to network connections in the control panel and use the network setup wizard.

Is it shared over a network, or is the driver installed on each PC independently? Have you installed the proper Vista drivers on the Vista PC's? The Xp driver is likely not compatible with Vista. It may be (if you used a disc) that it doesn't contain the proper Vista drivers. I would try downloading the proper driver and re-installing on the Vista PC's.

1.How are you attaching to the network printer from your daughters computer? IP address, or by the name of the printer...Also make sure you check you are attaching to the network printer, and not local printer.

2. Install the Microsoft TCP/IP version 6 protocol on both computers by clicking install on your LAN properties, then restart PC. This should work!

Make sure you download the Zebra Designer Driver for the Vista computer. The Zebra Universal driver does not work with Vista. Vista Driver Link

Yes you can share out one printer from 2 computers. you can either set up a home network using arouter to connect your 2 computers. Or you can use an a /b switch to share the printer.

Are they both under the same network? Can the pc find the laptop under network connections and vice versa? If not, then right-click my computer, go to properties, go to the tab 'Computer Name' click on the button change, and make it part of a workgroup of your choice of name. Do this for both making them part of the SAME workgroup.
Then, make your printer shared under that workgroup.
