Major Printer Server Problems
-
Print jobs aren't making it from the server to the printer....
We have like 30 printers, and none of them are working
-
still way more information is needed. And No, our print server pretty much never have issues.
-
Print Servers aren't like a globally shared resource. This is like saying "anyone else experiencing a cash flow problem" or "anyone else installing software."
Are you looking for a fix or just comrades with similar despair?
-
Are you asking a specific group of people?
Cause this seems like you are.... but you didn't tag them.
No our printers are running fine, I have to catch up before they get to far away....
-
No print server issues here.
-
It's more likely that your model printer has an odd drive that has issues or you have network issue etc. the Print server itself is solid these days and rarely cause issues.

Is it just me or do Motocycle's always have major issues?

Drink... try whiskey.
For a fix, start with what print server you are using
CUPS is the big one. Are you running that? -
Did you turn it off and on again?

Yes, the server, the printers, the computers. Everything.

So the computers are connected to the print server just fine.. So it's something between the file server and the printers.. since it's all of them doing it. to me the network is the first place I'd start.

Almost all HP.
Are they all the same model of HP though ie all the same driver?
-
It's like the print server doesn't see the printer. It can ping it fine.
I just tried to add one direct IP and that isn't working... What is going on here?

It could be but we have no way of knowing. There is very little information about anything.

You are using JetDirects? Haven't seen those in a decade. Not using regular servers? I have no idea how to manage those anymore.
