Misbehaving Network Printers - options?
- by Dan Kelly
We are having some issue with printers on our network.
We have 3 floors, 2 printers per floor (A3 & A4) all connected to the same Print Server.
The issue is that the same printer may not behave the same on two different, seemingly identical desktops. The commonest place this is seen on our bulk print script in AutoCAD - occasionally drawings may print Landscape on Portrait paper, despite drawings always being Landscape...
Does any one have any suggestions on what we can check / try?
The current line of attack is to setup a new Print Server, with the HP universal print driver rather than the device specific drivers, and replace printers using exactly the same method on all desktops. Sound good?
