I got a call from a client 2010-Sep-16 that they could no longer print
to either network printer from any workstation.
Workstations have Vista Business 32 and were updated morning of Sep 16.
Server is Server2003 & printing still worked from it fine.
Printers were using IP ports fine for over 2 years.
Fix was to create ports with full share name & use that instead of IP.
The IP address of printer had not changed AND
I could still browse with IE8 (using IP address)
to printer to see config data of printer
Workstations are in Server2003 domain
This full share name trick was how I previously had to set up
Vista Home Premium workstations
to use network printers in home networks.
Why would Vista Business be "updated" to Home Premium settings?
Is this a permanent "update"?
Why does any version of VISTA do this?
Does Windows 7 have same issue?
Cheers
