Windows 2008 Server Standard - Problems Printing

I have an issue with a server that we are currently setting up in a bus station.
There are 6 machines in total, one is the server which is running Windows Server 2008 Standard 32bit SP2, the other 5 are the client machines which are all running Windows 7 Pro 64bit SP1.
All 6 machines are all linked together on the same domain and they all speak to each other, i.e all ping each other.
The issue we now have is that we have 5 printers to link to the network, all the prints are plugged directly into the Ethernet sockets on the wall which then go to the switch. The prints all have ips assigned to them and the server will see them but will
not communicate with them. If we try to ping any of the printers it fails.
We have loaded print service/print management on the server and we can set up the printers through that. Again we get the error that it is not communicating with the printer so it asks you to load the driver manually(gives us a huge lists of makes and models).
In the network list through control panel we dont get a list of printers.
If anyone can help that would be great and could let us know what we are doing wrong.
If i have missed anything important out please let me know.
thanks

Until you determine the underlying network transport problem this has nothing to do with printing.
Get the network configured so you can ping or use tracert to the IP of the device.  It's possible the printers are not properly configured for your network but once again not a printing issue at this point but a networking issue.

  • How to install Cisco Work 3.2 on Windows 2008 Server Standard R2

    Hi Everyone,
    I have got Cisco Works LAN Management 3.2. But the problem is that i have a Windows 2008 Server Standard R2 and when i try to install, it fails. What I read from the below link is that it supports
    "Windows 2008 Server Standard and Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 1 and 2. Both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems are supported on the above versions."
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/prod/collateral/netmgtsw/ps6504/ps6528/ps2425/data_sheet_c78-534877.html
    Please help me out on how i should install on the Windows 2008 Server Standard R2. If there is any patch or any other way out.
    Awaiting your response.

  • Installing Dirsync on Windows 2008 Server Standard FE

    Hello all,
    I need to Dirsync my only domain controller i have to Office 365.  My server is a Windows 2008 Server Standard FE.  I installed all requirement for dirsync to be installed (and all Windows updates also) and i still get an error when trying to install
    (Says my Powershell is not at least 2.0, but it is...) 
    Anyone tried to install Dirsync on that kind of server ? (and made it work?)
    Regards,

    It is
    required to update to Windows Management Framework 3.0 or Powershell 3.0 if you are installing DirSync on Windows 2008 R2.  I believe the same applies to 2008 SP1 as well.
    Also, I've heard of issues where non-English versions don't properly detect the presence of PowerShell.  You may want to temporarily change your regional format  to English to test this, if this applies to you.

  • LMS 4.0 eval on 180-day Windows 2008 Server Standard R2 SP1 eval

    I'm having difficulties installing the LMS 4.0 eval on an 64-bit 180-day Windows 2008 Server Standard R2 SP1 eval.
    The installer says that it needs 2008 Server Enterprise, but the LMS 4 release notes say 2008 Server Standard works.  It also says that R1 is supported, but makes no specific reference to R2.  I'm assuming that if R1 is supported, R2 would be supported as well, no?

    You need to install a patch for this OS support:

  • Windows 2008 Server on Sunfire V20z Server

    I am looking to install Windows 2008 Server (Standard Edition) on a retired Sunfire V20z server. The box is totally raw - i.e. new drives with no OS. The problem is that the Win2008 install disc is a DVD and the V20z only has a CD-ROM drive. I purchased an external DVD USB drive, but the BIOS does not support booting from the USB. I'm thinking updating the BIOS to version 1.35.3.2, but I can't find any documentation that it even supports USB booting.
    Anyone have any ideas on how I can install Win2008 server on this raw box?

    Depending on what other resources you have to hand I'd use one of the following approaches. Note: I don't have a V20z but the following approach has worked on other machines which had no DVD drive.
    Open the box and temporarily connect a slimline IDE DVD-ROM in lieu of the built in CDROM. I've found that while there is often a proprietary interface on the M/B the connection at the drive end can normally be dismantled and connected to another drive. I use one salvaged from an IBM P3 based Netvista.
    or
    Download the Microsoft WAIK and generate a Windows PE CDROM. Insert that into the CD drive and place the Windows 2008 DVD in the USB DVD drive. Boot the machine from the CD and then launch the Windows setup program from the USB DVD. The process for creating the Windows PE CDROM is straightforward and is covered in the Windows PE User's Guide as provided in the WAIK but here are the steps.
    Launch the Deployment Tools Command Prompt and run the following commands ( for amd64 )
    copype amd64 C:\winpe_amd64
    copy c:\winpe_amd64\winpe.wim c:\winpe_amd64\ISO\sources\boot.wim
    oscdimg -n -bC:\winpe_amd64\etfsboot.com C:\winpe_amd64\ISO C:\winpe_amd64\winpe_amd64.iso
    Burn the resulting ISO to a CD.

  • Cant add a printer in Windows 2008 Server printer server HP LaserJet P1606dn

    Hello,
    I am trying to install a HP LaserJet P1606dn printer in a Windows 2008 Server Virtual machine.
    The printer is connected to the corporate network and I am able to do ping from my desktop to the printer.
    Then I follow this steps.
    1.- Install the driver application for W2008 Server.
    2.- Add printer in W2008 Printer Server.
    3.-Select "add a local or network printer" as an administrator.
    4.- Choose network printer
    5.-Create a new port --> Standard TCP/IP Port
    6.- Fill the host name ---> ("printer1") or IP address --> (XX.XXX.XX.13)  I have tried the both options separately but with no result. And fill the port name
    7.-At this stage . W2008 Server tells me that " the device is not found on the network" . Be sure that: .....
     So, in select device type, I select  "Standard" and "Generic Network Card"  and click on Next
    8.- Install printer driver  -> I select the proper driver HP LaserJet 1606dn
    9.- Install the printer driver ---> use the driver that is currently installed (recommend)
    10.- Type printer name --> "printer1"
    11.-Share printer name ---> "printer1"
    Here, begins the problem. Trying to print a test page, It says me that  "A test page has been sent to your printer", I can see the document in the queue, but the printer page it isn`t thrown away outside.
    I dont explain myself why, I have done several trials, and I dont know what happens
    I would be very grateful if somebody could help me to solve this issue
    Many Thanks
    Robert

    Hi lespaul80,
     1st- check if you can connect to your printer on web interface(in IE: \\printer ip address
    and check under network setup  if subnet mask and  def. gateway setup
    also if you have DNS setup check it too
    check if you have SNMP options - desable it
    on server try ad printer by direct IP and try use upd drive(PCL6 or PS)
    Hope it help you

  • Windows 2008 Server and HP Color LaserJet 2605dn Driver Issue when Sharing Printer

    I have a HP Color LaserJet 2605dn printer that I need to setup on a Windows 2008 server.  I need the server to act as a Print server, but I have been unable to get any drivers to load other than the 64 Bit Universal drivers.  Because most of the company uses XP (32 and 64 bit), I also need to load those drivers under additional drivers; however, I have been unable to load them, when I point to the INF file (any of the 10 that unzip from the driver package), it says it is not for this printer.  I have even tried the generic 32 bit PS and it says the same thing.  Any ideas on what I am doing incorrectly or where to get the drivers that I need?
    Thanks,
    Gary

    Hello, I have the same problem. For the 2605 Printer is only the universal print driver available. Is seems that HP is to be lazy about making new 2008 driver.

  • Slow network printing on Windows 2008 Server

    Hi,
    We are just testing/configuring a Windows 2008 (x64) server to replace an aging Windows 2000 file & print server.
    I have added the print services role and added a network TCP/IP printer (a HP Laserjet 2200).
    When I print to this printer from either the server (via print test page) or from a client, it takes around 30 seconds before the print will start to print. On our Windows 2000 server, this would print immediately.
    I have insalled the HP 2200 driver that came with Windows 2008.
    Anyone any ideas where to find the problem causing the delay?
    Thanks,
    Kenny

    Hello,
    I have done some research and I find firewall component of the antivirus software such as Mcafee might cause similar network delay issues.
    If you have installed AV softwares on Windows Server 2008, please try uninstalling it temperately and test whether this will make any difference.
    Moreover, You could also try disabling TCP Chimney Offload, RSS, Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level on Windows Server 2008 one by one to see whether it makes any difference.
    To disable TCP Chimney Offload, follow these steps:
    a.   Use administrative credentials to open a command prompt.
    b.   At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
           netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
    To disable RSS, follow these steps:
    a.   Use administrative credentials to open a command prompt.
    b.   At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
           netsh int tcp set global RSS=disabled
    To disable 'Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level', follow these steps: :
    a.   Use administrative credentials to open a command prompt.
    b.   At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
           netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
    I hope this helps. Thanks.

  • Radeon Drivers problems with BootCamp Windows 2008 Server R2

    Hello !! I have some troubles with BootCamp and Windows 2008 Server R2... I can't find any graphic drivers for my AMD Radeon HD 6490 !! Heeeelp please
    (I Have a Macbook Pro i7)

    Shoooryuken, did you ever get this problem resolved? I have thhe same issue...
    I have the 2011 MacBook Pro 15" 2.0ghz Quad Core i7 with integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 and AMD Radeon 6490M.
    I just installed Windows Server 2008 R2 (Which is based on Windows 7) using Boot Camp. After I installed it, the I only have 3 resolution options, all of which are stretched. I checked the device manager and found that the Apple Instal DVD did not work and only a "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" was installed. It also reports a whopping 16MB of graphics memory
    I downloaded the "detect and install" driver utility from AMD (http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx) and it detected my correct OS and downloaded something (driver maybe?). When I clicked install, I recieved this message: "AMD Catalyst Mobility cannot be downloaded due to incompatible hardware/software on your computer. Your computer does not contain a proper graphics adapter."
    I don't really know why Windows does not detect the graphics card. Right now I am trying to install the Intel graphics drivers for the Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics... I will report back if I get the integrated graphics running...

  • Problem with 10.2.0.5 patch on Windows 2008 Server R2 64bit

    Hello
    I have HP server with Windows 2008 Server R2 64bit. I installed
    latest 64-bit version of Oracle Database 10.2.0.4 and everything works fine and later installed the patch 10.2.0.5 (64 bits) as the Oracle maintains that with the R2 version of the system it is necessary to correct work.
    Now, after uploading the patch database starts and closes
    after about 15 minutes and my alert log file is changed to the binary version which do not see anything (means that after patch installation (10.2.0.5) the alert log file isn't normal text file and it looks like that:
    Źýţ cśy iµ•eű .Ź ťy ťy Ř®y hčN)
    You can read only the beginning and it's very large - 13 Mb after unpacking from ZIP.
    Can anyone met with this configuration and knows how to solve
    problem?
    This is the link to my strange alert log file:

    I attached my spfile.ora file too:

    Your alertlog is corrupted, it could be something about a virus or even a problem with disk drives. Have you scanned your server with anti-virus software? Have you scanned the disks?
    Last questison: Have you upgraded your database after you installed the patch?

  • Laserjet m1217 will not print through easyprint on windows 2008 server 64Bit

    We have a client that has the LaserJet M1217 that is connecting to our Window 2008 Server SP2 64Bit via Remote Desktop.  Easyprint recognizes the printer, but will not even print a test page.  We get a FAIL message.  We either need to know how to print through easyprint, or if there is a driver that can be installed remotely.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I would contact Microsoft about this. Since Easy Print is one of their features, they should know what is causing the error in the first place. Let me know what they say.

  • I am having a problem installing the x86 drivers on a Windows 2008 server for a hp 4000n.

    I am having a problem installing the x86 drivers on a Windows 2008 server for a hp laserjet 4000n.

    Hi all,
    Sylonious, did you manage to sort this problem out? I have been experiencing similar problems. I think my problem was because I had many different versions of JDKs. I have done a complete re-install. I would be really grateful to you (and anyone else) for help with this problem.
    I have re-installed JSDK1.4.2_03, set the "path" variable to "C:\JSDK1.4.2_03".
    When I compile using "javac" I get an error saying "javac" is not recognised.
    When I compile using "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\bin\javac Freq.java" no error is thrown.
    Every time I try to run a java file, I always get the NoClassDefFound error. When run with the -verbose option, files are loaded from C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin - is this correct?
    I have removed all previous references to java in the registry editor.
    Please help !

    Hi all,

    I love that types of error... which is har to find answer on google :-( I have tried but I haven't find any constructive :-( Did you met with something similar? Which log I should check (sorry - I'm still noob in SCCM2012) to update actual SCCM Client SP1
    (5.00.7804.1000) to SP1 CU3 (5.00.7804.1400)? 
    Thank you.

    I see in fodler with CU3 updates, are four packages:
    - SP1 Cumulative update 3 - x64 client update
    - SP1 Cumulative update 3 - x86 client update
    - SP1 Cumulative update 3 - server update 
    - SP1 Cumulative update 3 - console update
    It will be stupid but... maybe I should deploy x64 client update package?
