Guest john Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I am trying to change the IP on my printer device, but it keeps telling me it is in use and it cannot be changed. If I try to print, it gives me the same message. I have tried rebooting the server, printer device, clients, but no luck. I also re-installed the printer but still tells me the same message. If I connect to a client, it does print however, with no problem. How can I correct this? I have a 2k3 network. Would appreciate any help.
