2. 3 computers running on win98 and the rest are running on winxp
3. printer servers are connected to; hp 5400 and hp plotter 500series
4. I managed to share the autocad lite 97 between the 5 computers; 2 source and 3 shared
5. Whenever I try to print autocad drawings on computers with winxp, the printout kept going to the wrong printer.
eg I keep getting printout in hp 5400 no matter which printer I chose

Most likely it's the driver. Try going to the Fuji website and see what drivers are available. It's possible that the driver your using isn't designed to work with your operating system (such as designed for Windows XP and your now using Windows 10, etc.)
Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.
yes you need to load the printer server drivers on your new pc

Hi Thanks
for using FixYa. You’ll need to share the printers. If the printers are
different than install all the printer drivers. For detailed description to configure
the other two ports to print on the network please follow the step-by-step
procedure on the link--- Print on network Please do accept the solution if the issue is
resolved or post a comment for further assistance. Thanks Rylee
I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue.

Windows sharing based printers are dependent on the computer where the printer is attached. This means that if the computer is turned off, or is in the sleep/hibernate mode, then all the computers that can print through that server will not be able to print. To solve this issue you can use external print servers to share printers in the home/office. External print servers are connected to the router which allows it to be available on the network without being dependent on any other computer system. External print servers are available in both wireless and wired versions, and the choice between those options is based on the needs of the home or office.get more information and help for Network Printer Configuration .Hope this helps you.
I just found a way to enable the HP P1006 with a different print server
(Liveprint on Orange Livebox router). Perhaps this might work with the
WGPS606 wireless print server?
I set up the P1006 via the print server as instructed (I'm using Vista 32 Home Premium) but no test page would print.
BUT!! (with thanks to another another forum):
I selected printers, then right-clicked on the wireless printer I'd just installed and selected 'properties'.
Under the 'Ports' tab I deselected 'Enable bidirectional support'.
Problem solved.
Hope this helps.
let me inform you that this printer is not compatible with any wireless
print server. The drawback is that it is not possible to network such
printers. A printer needs a steady flow of data, which is easily
accomplished when it is connected directly to a PC, but cannot be
guaranteed when the printer is connected via a LAN. Also, these
technologies require intensive handshaking between the driver and the
printer.
The host-based software uses the computer's resources to process print
commands and rasterizing data, taking advantage of the computer's
memory and processing power."
Sorry I can't be more upbeat - but its probably useful to know that
someone at HP thinks the job's imposible - unless someone out there has
a fix?
You only need the actual printer drivers not the print server driver (there is no such thing for print server drivers). Once you connect to network and to Print server, you should be able to see what brand printer is connected to server such as HP, Epson, Fujixerox, Samsung, etc.
Ubuntu has his own print server. When you click on System/Administration/Print (not sure, because I use the French version :Impression), it opens a window. Then you select Go to the server (again, something similar to that choice), and you can configure the options for the server.
