We have a Novell 4.11 Netware file server. Our workstations are Windows 2000 professional. Our network printers run off of print servers on the Novell file server. Recently one of the workstations would not print to a networked printer. I stoppedand started the print spooler, rebooted. It did not fix the problem. I deleted the printer and tried to add the printer back. I got the message, "Could not connect to the printer. You either entered a printer name that was incorrect or the specified printer is no longer connected to the server."

The workstation has access to the network and can print to any other printer on the network. It sees the printer in question until I try adding it. All the other workstations on the network canuse the printer. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you,

Mike

It sounds like it could be a cabling or other fault between the workstation and the file server. Can you instal a local printer to the workstation, if not it could be a port.
Hope this helps
