C/A printer session

I have done similar setups before - but non exactly like this:

We have an HP color LaserJet which is DIRECT Ethernet connected to our LAN.

I have used the CD to install the printer (as peer to peer?) on each PC which 
needs to connect to this new printer.  That works fine for PC related work.

Now, on one of those PC's which already uses the printer - I have installed 
Client Access and created a printer session with this new printer as the 
"default" printer.

I have tried to send AS/400 prints over there but they seem to "evaporate" into 
thin air.  I did get a message on Forms change which I gave a "G" to , but all 
AS/400 stuff just appears to hang in the Q, and then no other PC related work 
will print either.  I had to close down the C/A printer session and reboot the 
PC on which the session was installed.  That cleared out the printer Q, and now 
the PC related work prints ok again.

I don't know if the direct network attachment is why I cannot get this to work? 
 

I already have C/A printer sessions working with LPT1 connections to PCs, as 
well as with HP Jetdirect print servers.

Thanks.
