Hi
That has all been done, the printer share name is cx6600 it can be
viewed from the laptop and shared without any problem. The lap top is
actually spooling the job to the pc, but when it gets to the pc it just
stops when it gets to the top of the que.

Are they running XP Home or XP Pro? If you are using third party firewall
software, is it set correctly?

they are running windows pro and i have checked the event log but there
are no errors.

i have just added a third laptop to the network running xp home have
networked it no problem shared the printer with out any problem and the
exact same thing happens with that. the job seems to be sent to the
main pc but still just sits at the the top of the cue. which leads me
to believe the problem is with the pc sharing the printer
