Re: Printer sharring issues I think...?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

This sounds like either a hardware issue with the print server, or a
networking issue in between the switch and the print server. I'd try
resetting the print server and/or checking all the settings. Swap out the
cables at both ends, and try using a different port on the switch. Unless
you can get a reliable ping response from the print server every time, I
would not mess with anything on the server or on any client PCs.

Most of you know I have a SMS 2003 and its running DHCP and DNS. In
this case printer sharring is not working. People send a print job to
the printer the server sees the job and ques it but its not making it
to the printer? Any reason why that is?

I am also noticing that when I ping a printer IP address it sometime
responds and sometimes does not. There seems to be some lag or
something with the recieve end. I have rebooted the routers.

The computers can access the internal and external network fine (WWW).

Any ideas to help me out?

Thanks!
