Re: Printer sharring issues I think...?

Sorry I should mention its all the printers not just one. And it just
started out of now where. I guess thats why I keep thinking its
something in the SBS server not pushing the que to the printer. OR am
I still wrong?

than your problems have nothing to do with the SBS server. You have a
network problem as Dave pointed out. Either the printer NIC, or the cable to
the switch or the port on the switch where the printer is plugged in are not
functioning properly.

Unless you can reliably ping the IP of the printer you will not get any
results with printing.

Maybe I am confused by your responce. The SBS server running DHCP,
DNS bascially everything newtworking is also the print server. I have
restarted the print services as well as DNS an DHCP. When restarting
DHCP it seems like the ping responce got better? Is it weird how the
print job gets to the server and sits?

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!
