SYMPTOMS
After you create a shared printer on a computer that uses the Intel Network Port, remote clients may not be able to print on the shared printer.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur because the spooler IsLocalCall function, which detects whether a call originates from the local computer or from a remote computer, does not work correctly with Intel Network Port.
RESOLUTION

WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, print a test page from the print server that uses the Intel Network Port. Clients should then be able to print to that print server until the print server is restarted.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Windows 2000. This problem was first corrected in Windows 2000 Service Pack 2.
