Printing issue

I have come accross a bizarre issue, at least to me. I have a server that
shares network printers for labs. I have a lab with a printer that is shared
that will not print to the lab printer. They can print to another printer in
another lab, but not this printer. I have tried under multiple users, from
restricted to Domain Admin to the local Admin and the result is the same.
When something is printed the printer dialogue shows that the printer is not
available to print. I have even shared the same printer from a different
server with the same result. I am able to print to that printer from
computers other than what are in that lab.

One final note the lab was setup using Ghost and imaged from one computer.

Thanks,

Hi Eric,

Could the printer's IP be blocked with a specific firewall block? Is it
perhaps connected using the LPT1 cable and it expects a network connection
(or vicé versa)?

Just a couple of quick thoughts!

I didabled the firewall and the problem is still there. The printer is
attached to the network and shared from the server that way. But either way
the problem is still there.

Thanks,
Eric
