Print Servers.

[BoomAM]

Hi.
Does anyone have any experiance with print servers?

Ive just setup a 2003 R2 server, which only uses is to act as a print server, however for some reason, it wont list all the printers that are added to it in the AD, sometimes the printers disappear completely from the AD, meaning i have to re-share them/re-list them, and just now, it'll list the printers, but wont allow clients to access them, throwing up the error that the printers not there!?

The install is only a day old, all thats on it is Server 2003, R2, everything off windows update, mobo drivers, gfx drivers & the drivers for the various printers.

Ideas?

If you have created the Printer within AD as an OU i dont see why it should be disappearing.

I dont create the printers in AD, they automatically add usually.
Listed under the computer that they are 'shared by'.

Ive moved all the printers to the main server where they were before for now, but for some reason, the drivers for the two brother printers wont install on the main server. Keeps erroring with 'invalid argument'.
