Cannot connect to printers

[Guest Gorge Lucas]

Hi all,

 

I have a few printers connected to desktops that are listed in active

directory. One of them is a Laser Jet 5 and a Laser Jet 1022 (HP).

 

The machines that these are connected to print fine. Anyone on the network

trying to connect to these printers just sit there with the search light...

after awhile it times out.

 

Happens to all the printers coming off desktops, and these are different

desktops.

 

The client machines are XP (SP2, SP3) in a mixed domain 2000 and 2003. The

2003 domain controller has only just been bought online, before this it was

just 2000 and still having the same problems. I've checked permissions and

nothing seems to be missing so I'm a little lost.

 

Thanks

Hello Gorge,

 

How do you try to connect, i assume you install them like normal printers

with Add printer wizard, choose the printer name via AD and install the drivers

to the client where the user works?

 

Best regards

Re: Cannot connect to printers

 

Hello Gorge,

 

What do you mean with the search light? If the printer is installed on the

client, there is either a problem with printer settings that maybe missmatch

or connectivity. Please post the printer ip configuration, the client ip

configuration where it is directly connected and from the client where you

have problems.

 

Best regards

Re: Cannot connect to printers

 

Hi,

 

What I meant was, the printer is showing AD. If you right click on it and go

connect it sits there trying to search for it, eventually timing out. It's a

USB connected printer. It's all running on the same subnet in a small

office.

Hello Gorge,

 

So it is not installed on another computer with Add printer wizard?

Re: Cannot connect to printers

 

I don't quite understand what you're saying.

 

It is installed on another XP computer using the wizard, shared and listed

in AD. Other computers trying to connect to it cannot.
