Default printer queue

Hi,
I have just set up a wireless network, earlier today my wife had selected 20
pages one by one from the internet to be printed, she selected each page one
by one and selected print before browsing for the next page and selecting
print for that.
This win98 PC is downstairs and the HP 2600n printer is upstairs via a 3com
wireless router.

For the second time in a week the documents did not print and I discovered
that in control panel printers properties details print to the
following port, that the white box was empty.

I clicked on "capture printer port" and upstairs/printer5 was correctly
inserted in the box and I was able to print a test word doc okay.

I am puzzled as to why the port selected has "dropped out" twice for no
reason, and when I look at printers properties details, I see that the
upstairs/printer5 under "print to the following port" is highlighted brown
instead of being black print on a white background.

I can close the properties box and as it is just closing the print to the
following port entry "upstairs/printer5" does change from brown to white,
but, when I open printers properties details again the upstairs/printer5
has been highlighted brown again.

Any ideas, Steve
