Is anyone aware of specific problems using a printer shared from a windows 95 machine where the share name has spaces in it for example:

"Shared Printer"

It seems I cannot print to this printer no matter what I do unless i rename the share to have no spaces...

If this is a common problem this is fine but I dodn't have an explanation for it..

I ddid notice that it tries to make you create a name with no spaces...

And on XP I get an error:

"The share name that you entered may not be accessible from some MS-DDOS workstations. Are you sure....?"

Can anyone shed some light on this problem. Perhaps a link to a msdn article
that explains it's a known problem?


Thanks!!!
