problems with network printing

[sven]

some times when i print something from my windows 2000 machine to my windows xp machine, the printer repeats printing the same file over and over again. i once had 30 pages of something, emptied the ink and paper. i believe it only repeats printing the first page.

when you open up the printer spool manager, it shows the file printing. 1/1, then 2/1 then 3/1. i notice this today, i first though my brother was just an id*** and pushed print 30 copies. could this problem be caused by send to printer directly? ill try spooling it, but i really have no way of testing it except printing and waiting for it to screw up again.

any ideas will help
