I have also had problems sharing an HP Deskjet printer, specifically the
675Cse (something like that) over a simple peer to peer Win95 network.  The
problem is sometimes the printer server (the computer the printer is
physically connected to) comes up with an error message "cannot write to
LPT1, try closing any applications that may be using it".  I have tried many
different things, including updating printer drivers, disabling two-way
communication, etc. The spool folder just fills up with .shd (I think that's
the extension) files.  I can delete those files and reboot the server, but
that is a temporary fix.

Just out of curiosity, what type of printer do you have?  I have an HP
855CSE and have had problems sharing this printer over a network and have
yet to find the cause of the problems.
