Dear All

Hi, I am new to the Dell Community and have a need for help with a new printer.  Brushwood is a small business involved in digital print and toy manufacture (toy farm buildings!)  We have several Dell PC's and laptops and have just added a 1320c laser printer to the network.

I am not an experienced administrator and am baffled as to why the installation of the printer yesterday went okay and printing has been fine for the last 24hrs, but today every machine on the network was unable to print to it - although they could this morning!  I could ping the printer's IP address from each machine no problem, and the printer was showing online and ready on each unit.  I restarted each machine, along with the printer and the hub, with no result.  In the end I had to re-install the print software from the CD onto each machine, and we are up and running again - but for how long.

Does anyone have any idea how this happened or any pointers to stop it happening again?

Many thanks

Pete
