Users on my domain lose network printers

1,892 Expert 1GB
Occasionally users on my domain lose their network printers. Has anyone heard or seen this? If the user logs out and logs back in the policies push out the correct permissions and they will get their printers back. Does anyone know of a fix for this? I've seen this happen to at least two users in the past month and a half.


Thanks,
Aric

Make sure you login as an admin into the machine and setup the usernames as loca admins for their particular station, then let the server take care of the policies.

This sounds odd but it just seems like some sort of a bug where occasionally users will lose their printers. The policies are written well. Who knows maybe there machines lose contact with the network occasionally and when the regain connectivity they don't have printers.

I like what Cyberdyne posted. Check to see if the printers are using static IP addresses. In the command prompt, type ARP -A and make sure that the printer addresses are visible. If the printers and the users are on the same Ethernet segment (same switch), see if using a TCP/IP port makes a difference. If the printers and the users are separated by a router, check router settings.
