Hi All
When I try to print from a remote machine on the network the print fails and
a box comes up saying the rpc server is not available.
I have both firewalls turned off and can see both machines both ways. Any
help would be appreciated.
Thank You
don

automatically.

If that doesn't work, go to Start > Run > eventvwr.msc, and look for
relevant errors in the system event log.
