Hello.
I've got a Lexmark Optra S 1855 installed as a network printer on a Windows
2000 Server box and shared out from there. All users use Terminal Services to
access the server resources. Some mornings I will be told that there will be
100's of sheets of paper printed out and sitting on the printer ready for
pick up. Upon investigation, it turns out that they are all print jobs from
previous days that have already been printed and dealt with! This occurrred
during last night and the only thing I remember doing differently is that I
rebooted the server around 10pm.
Any help is appreciated (might save some trees too:)
Thanks, Ed
 
Ed,

I had a printing anomaly something like yours; perhaps this will help.

One of my printers had a static IP address that was mistakenly within the
DHCP scope. It appears that during work hours print jobs were being sent
(and lost) to the PC, but once the PC was shut down at the end of the day
the jobs would mysteriously appear on the printer the next morning.

Hope this helps.

Chris
