Work PC-Printer Problem
speedyxjs - 19/3/09 at 03:22 PM

The server at work wont print from our printer but the clients all print fine. The printer is connected through the server and we have tried reinstalling it and restarting the printer but am now stuck.
Any idea's?

How is the printer connected to the network ?, if is connected to the server it could be the firewall is blocking a loop back connection.

try adding it again on the server. The server can have lots of 'printer Ques' to a single printer .

some of my HP printers have 4 or 5 ques pointing to one printer.

So you have:
x Clients running xp with printer mapped to \SERVERPRINTER or are they mapped as local printers?
Print server running Win 2k3? With printer attached by USB?

have you tried restarting the spooler service on the server?
