Problem with network printers
Goodmorning,
I'm a system administrator and I mantain also network printers of my factory (like 200: inkjet - laserjet from different vendors: HP oki, epson...).
Printers are defined on a print server SUN with O.S. Solaris (unix).
All pc clients (like 400) have network printers installed on.
With o.s. windows 98 any problem was occur, the printer was online and documents immediately where printed.
Now I'm migrating clients from win 98 to win XP professional SP 2.
Printers become having problems.
When I install one device on a client with windows XP using correct drivers, initially seems ok then, from "printer panel" I can see the state of the printer: "access denied, connection impossible".
However the printer works but for printing a word or excell document, it needs some minutes.
This is a problem because users complain work delays.
Is not possible that network printers defined on servers unix have all that problems when are installed on clients with windows XP.
If I link directly the printer from the client using the IP address the problem doesn't occur but I exclude printer server and it is not possible, I must manage printer queues with the printer server.
Does anyone know the cause of my problem or have seens something similar. May be a key configuration from the XP register.
Please help me
Thanks
Bonovox
