![]() ![]() What I tried last night was to just change the port, but it would not allow any configuration of the existing port, which is why I resorted to the deletion/reisntallation. On some machines in some departments, we've started doing universal drivers, but I don't think this is one of those because most of their printers are not HP. ![]() Are you saying this is a function of the WSD? I was thinking it was a setting issue on the printers, but I could never find anything one way or the other. Now, it's interesting what you say because I have often wondered why some printers auto-discover and some printers do not. I installed some of these computers in the last few months, and typically, since we are not yet to GPO, I'll do them all manually via IP, and more often than not, it will not find the driver itself and so I will choose it from a list. Also, after it's installed, instead of removing it and re-adding, have you tried changing the port to a TCP/IP port and leaving what's on there as far as drivers alone? Post back. Also, make sure you are using the right bit driver (x86 or 圆4 where approrpiate). Did you let it auto-discover for the driver or did you run a manufacturer's installer? That would make it use WSD for the port if you let it auto-discover the driver. ![]() ![]() That's what I've found works better at times. How did you install the driver? Have you tried switching to a different driver? If you are using PostScript, try PCL5 if it's XP or PCL6 if it's Vista, 7 or 8. It makes it a WSD port with some long hex type number like "WSD-22dc14d6-c169-47e7-ab33-bf19e5958dfb.003a" At that point, the print job fails and/or printer is reported as being offline. They should NOT be uninstalling, what appears to be happening is that instead of it being the usual tcp/ip port of 10.65.x.x. We will be doing printers via GPO after we finish our move to a new AD, but for now they are all manual. ![]()
