We have a reoccurring
issue with printer queue's going offline with a status of "Printer not found
on server, unable to connect" on a Server 2008 32-bit box. Windows updates
are up to date. PrinterServer role installed on the server.<o:p></o:p>
This server
is part of server farm for an application. The Sole function of this server is
to act as a print server for the application (We'll call it AppPrintServer).
The printers are installed from shares located on the corporate print server
(we'll call it CorpPrint). Every week, about 25% of the printer’s go offline on
the AppPrintServer. However, the printers are still functional on the
CorpPrint. To quickly fix this issue, we would delete the printers off the
AppPrintServer and then re-add them from the CorpPrint. We continue to do this
every week, and for random printers.<o:p></o:p>
Has anyone
ran into a similar issue and/or know of a fix?<o:p></o:p>
Printers
seem to offline after these warnings appear.<o:p></o:p>
