Thanks Noellees1,
The printer is connected to the network via a printer server but the XP can't access the printer server, even after installing the XP printer drivers for the printer...
please help me.

I believe your printers will have a unique IP address provided by the network (via the print server). You'll have to access the printer by IP address of by a unique printer name such as prt01, prt02, etc.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

While it is a moderate p.i.a. to do, the remarkable Bruce Sanderson's advice on this is what I would do without question.
