Recently I was privy to help assist a technician with a major install of a network for a medical centre.

Each Doctor had their own PC and a Canon 4650 Printer - set for printing A5 Scripts. Now "some" of the machines, not all, are locking up when a script is sent to the printer forcing the practitioner to reboot the PC. Once the PC restarts it recovers what was spooled and prints the script.

The machines are PIII's (Compaq) running Windows '98 SE. They are networked, but as I said the affected machines have their own printers.

Incidentally the print drivers that came with the printers appear to be the latest.

Any clues as to how to rectify this would be appreciated.
