Hi Sean,

Dare I say it, that sounds like a Windows problem, not OS/2....;-)

If only ONE machine can connect to the printer at a time (try disconnecting the 
existing machine and see if the other machine can get there), then it sounds 
like the SHARE for the Resource is not set up to allow multiple connections. 
From memory, under Windows there is a box that allows you to set the number of 
concurrent connections for a SHARE.

 SD> That's kinda weird.  

No thats fairly normal, a SHARED resource usually has an option that allows you 
to limit the load that can be imposed on a resource by remote hosts.

Cheers..............pk.
