Guest geekzmom Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 On a Windows Server 2003 print server i renamed a printer and it's share name. After i renamed the printer the name did not change and there was an error message that said "Printer not found on server, unable to connect” and there was no sign of the new printer name. On a XP machine i went to add a printer wizard and found the printer with the new name in the list of printers on our print server and was able to add it and print to it. What is really strange is that the new printer name or associated port does not show up in printer and faxes on our print server. I was able to delete the old printer with the error message on the print server and am still able to print to the printer with the new name on the XP machine. I am concerned because I am not able to get the properties of the printer with the new name. How can I get this printer to show up in add printers and faxes on the print server? Thank you, Geekzmom
Guest geekzmom Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 RE: missing renamed network attached printer on print server I figured out the problem. I was looking at the node, not the cluster server. Everything is working fine. -- Thank you, "geekzmom" wrote: > On a Windows Server 2003 print server i renamed a printer and it's share > name.
