Hi Dov,
Thanks for your rapid reply.
I ran 2 test cases. here are the steps, symptoms and error messages:

1. Test Case 1: Attempted to print Windows test page:
1.1. Connected Windows XP Pro system to network printer successfully (NEC Silentwriter2 90 v52.2); verified status = Ready.
1.2. Opened printer properties window and clicked "Print Test Page" button.
1.3. Button stayed down and cursor displayed hourglass; task waited for 2 - 3 minutes then displayed "(Not Responding)on title bar
1.4. Closed printer properties window and got error message window "explorer.exe not responding - end or wait".
1.5. Selected "end"; Explorer (and desktop) stopped and restarted)
1.6. Printers and Faxes window displayed printer status: "Printer not found on server, unable to connect"
1.7. Results at printer: 2 pages were printed: p1 was the top 2 lines of the test page Windows Xp logo and text: "Windows XP Printer Test Page".
p2 PostScript Error Message text:

1.8. Printer panel status displayed "ready"; Error message on Mac "document ... could not be printed on printer because of a postscript error
1.9. The document was still in the Mac's print queue. I selected try again and got the same 2 pages and same error message; then I deleted the document.

2. Test case 2: Attempted to print a 1 page Word document.

P.S. Above 2 cases work normally from my Windows 98 PC and from my Windows Me system before I upgraded it to XP.
P.P.S. The Windows XP System is a Dell Dimension 4100 w/ P3 867MHz CPU, 256MB RAM and 40GB Hard Drive. The Windows XP partition has plenty of free space.

Thanks for your help
