    Printing from remote

    Home network, two computers, both using Xp, D-Link 512 Host, D-Link 122 Client. In general the client works ok, the icon in task bar reads very good and good. At one time I was able to print from the client, but now the document goes into the queue and I can not move it to the printer.
    Can you offer any help?

    Don't know if this will help matters at all, but try moving the print spooler to a shared location on the network (i.e. a shared hard disk or shared partition).

    To do this, locate the current spool folder, which is usually in C:\WINDOWS\System32\ and move it to the the shared disk/partition that is accessible by both machines.

    Then, in the Printers and Faxes menu, highlight your printer and select File -> Server Properties -> Advanced and update the spool folder location with the path to the sahred disk/partition that you moved it to.

    Try and print something, and see if that works.
