Equipment:
Server with Server 2003 Standard (Config as DC, DNS and Print Server)
Wkstation running XP SP2 logged into the domain
HP LaserJet 2430dtn networked printer
All have static IP addresses and ping one another fine
Problem:
The Print Sever portion when the client tries to install a network printer from the server is where I am having an issue. The Print Server was set up through CONFIGURE YOUR SERVER WIZARD and had the HPLJ 2430 set up on a standard TCP/IP port and Shared.
When I go to the workstation then and go to ADD PRINTER --> NEXT --> A NETWORK PRINTER OR PRINTER ATTACHED TO ANOTHER PRINTER --> FIND A PRINTER IN THE DIRECTORY --> FIND NOW --> sometimes the printer that is shared on the print server shows up, sometimes it doesn't. When it does show up and I go to add it I get the error message saying, "WINDOWS CANNOT CONNECT TO THE PRINTER. EITHER THE PRINTER NAME WAS TYPED INCORRECTLY, OR THE SPECIFIED PRINTER HAS LOST CONNECTION TO THE SERVER". It found it though and it can ping it so I'm not sure what to do.
Any help in this matter would be appreciated.
Thank you.
