Hi Sosan
Did you really delete all drivers?
Go to the Printers and Faxes explorer, then File->Server Properties.
There on the Drivers tab remove all the left over drivers except for the
possible Microsoft Office Document Image Writer Driver (Office 2003) or
Adobe PDF Converter (Acrobat)
Also with XP SP2 the firewall is on by default. Turn it off to check if that
might cause the problem. You could also go to Control Panel->Windows
Firewall and on the Exceptions tab check File and Printer Sharing to allow
requests to pass the firewall.
Good luck,
Peter
