Every time that you access the printer, you can't print( checking print queue and you see printer error , everything in the printer is ok ), and other printers are disable. So you need to restart the machine to solve the problem..

If my memory serves me, this is a GDI printer. It will not work in the fashion you have described.
The only way this MAY work is to set them up on a PC acting as a print server, and share the device. It is crashing becasue of how the driver works. It has no memory of its own.
