Intermittent Printer Sharing on Win98SE

Hello:

I am running a home network with Win98Se on both machines.

One machine (host) has a HP550C printer on the Parallel Port. This
machine is connected to a USR wireless Hub.

The other (wireless) machine has a USR PCMCIA 802.11 card in it. The
systems are setup using the Client for Microsoft networks.

The network works just fine MOST of the time.

SOMETIMES (just sometimes) when sending a print job from the wireless
machine, I get a message that the printer is set offline and cannot
print. The print job then gets stuck in the print queue of the
wireless machine. The printer is of course on, online and operates
normally from the host machine.

Why this intermittency? Any ideas?

btw, sometimes the drive which is shared (on the host machine) shows
up (on the wireless machine) with a red X through it, although, I can
still connect to it and use it.
