| 627181 | 2008-01-03 23:25:00 | Hi there Guys, just need a little help with a problem that we have been having . We are running a 400 user NT based netowrk and use local printers for all of the users printing requirements . All printers are networked in the following mannor . Local Printers Port: \\<Print Server>\<printer name> e . g \\ccoprt01\LIN16 Using HP - HP Laser 4 Driver Everything prints fine, no problems there . However we do seem to be having some issues when our main app server goes down for a restart or for what ever reason . Once the server comes back up again no one can print to any of there printers even though nothing has been changed . The work around for this is to re-create each printer whioch seems to resolve the problem . We have created a VB script to complete this but unfortunatley this will only work on Win200 and XP enviroments, not NT . As we have over 280 printers attached to this server manually re-creating each printer is not an option . Can anyone shaed some light on the possible ause of this problem or a way in which we man be able to isolate the cause . Thanks and any info would be gratly appreicated . :cool: Captain Moor |
