It printed once after I uninstalled and reinstalled the USB driver.
Tried again and it wouldn't print.

I have tried it from the XPSP2 laptop and it printed as usual. I also
tried it before reinstalling the driver on the desktop, and it wouldn't
print. As soon as I reinstalled, the desktop machine printed once and
the laptop has printed whenever called upon by the laptop

Any ideas as to what can be screwing up the driver on the desktop?

On the 98SE machine:
Reboot.
Once back at the desktop press ctrl+alt+del.
If hpzstatx and/or hpzsta9 are listed in the Close Program window, End Task on
them.
Close out of Close Program.
Click Start Find Folders/Files.
In the box:
Named: type in hpzsta*.exe
Look in: select C:\
Click "Find Now".
If hpzstatx.exe and/or hpzsta9.exe are found, right click each one and rename
the extension to .old.
Close out of find and reboot.
Try to print to see if the issue is resolved.

If neither file is/was present on the machine:
Uninstall/reinstall the printer.
DO NOT SHARE the printer again yet.
Try to print to see if the issue is resolved.
Try to print a second time to see if the issue is resolved.
Reboot and try another print job or two to see if the issue is resolved.

Post back with the results. If the results were a failure at any time, please
post as much information as possible as to when it failed, if any print queues
are stalled, etc.

I'll add, disconnect the computer from the network again while running these
test.

Oh, and Normc, best start figuring out where in the update process you are
for XP if Brian's suggestions don't work
