RE: remote writer

It's something in your network. You could do a TRACE and see if that tells you 
anything but I would focus on all parts of the network, trace the cable make 
sure there are no intermediate hubs that may have gotten turned off, then into 
the router. You will need a network person to check this out as well.

you could put a '2' next to the spool and move it to another printer. If you're 
application does the mapping like some packages based on the user or session 
name you can change those.

HTH,
Phil

Ok here what we got:

We can ping the printer.
We turn the printer off and back on.
We rebooted the print server
We restarted the print writer again.

The prints are still in SND status.  We have a third remote printer that is 
working.  One of our worker said he had rerouted the printer at one time, but 
he put them back.  Anyone know what he could have done to reroute the printers?

check if it lost connection to the network. Can you ping to the IP Address of 
the printers? Try turning the printers and the print server (if you use one) 
off and on, then start up the writers again.

Good Morning,


We have two remote writer  printers that we are sending documents to and they 
are still sitting in SND status.  I ended the remote writer and started it 
again, and it goes back into SND status.  Is there something else to try?
