I am using windows xp OS, and i have add & install a networtk printer HP LaserJet 1100 from the server (Windows NT). When I from my PC, I click on "print test page". My PC will show out the error message is "Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print troubleshooter for assistance? Operation could not be completed". Other PC can print from the server printer, just mine cannot only. I also try to print direct from my pc is ok. I print from other pc in network also OK. Besides that, I have try a few way to solves it. But still cannot. Anyway, hope all of the visitors or friends here can try ur best to help me to solves this problems. Thanks a lot.

I would Delete the Network Printer, and Driver, and then Run the Add Printer Wizard again. This will allow you to reinstall the Printers Driver.

I have try to delete the network printer driver and add the printer again 5 times already. I not just do this method on my PC, also do this method on the server. But the problems still there.

Do you have the XP driver installed on the print server?

Try to run a ping command to the server from your PC. 

Goto Start-> Run -> ping  and press enter. 

You should be getting responses. If not check your network hardware to see if the 
cables are fine. If all hardware checks out, try disabling your firewall and try 
again.

To further verify if your networking hardware is fine, try to ping your computer 
from other PC in the same network.

Usually for my case is the windows firewall blocking communications.
