Networked Printer Troubles?

When I enjoy more than one windows computer trying to print to a HP laser squirt network organized printer at once, many times one of them will be powerless to suucesfully to the printer and reports a failed attempt. All the computers will print successfully if you purloin turns so I have properly connected to the printer by creating a local TC/IP port conection on the machines. Is at hand any settings that could be changed in the computers or printer to stop this from arranged?

A couple of notes, the printer is connected to the web via ethernet and to just one domestic device via a parralel conection, could this be causing a problem? All the machines are newer Windows XP pro machines beneath a school net using Novel's network mangement software. Thanks!

Answer:
Since you enjoy multiple connectivity(Parellel and n/w) that may cause problems...
U can try bypassing the print spooler...
Go to Printer properties ,"Advanced TAB".,Select Print directly to the Printer...
Try It...
Your best bet would be to purchase an HP JetDirect device and hold it spool your print jobs.

Hope this help,
