86484 2002-10-05 21:25:00 I have a laptop with I hook up to my home network to print. My questions is how do I setup the network printer on my laptop to store the printing jobs until I reconnent to the network. At the moment I get an error message saying that the printer is not available. Before I installed the network printer, I could hit print and it would store the printer job until I hooked up the printer to the laptop, this requires unplugging the printer from the desktop. Not something I want to do everytime.
Any help would be great.

Just click "OK" on the error message. If you are connected when you next boot up the laptop, it will start printing when it sees that the printer is available. If you connect while still running, you can probably right click on the printer's icon, and "restart" it. Graham L (2)
