Shared Printer issue!

by bsquillacote . Updated 24 years, 4 months ago

I have a HP LaserJet 4L printer that is attached to workstation that has been upgraded from Pent.166 Mhz to Pent.3/866 Mhz machine. The printer is a shared printer so that several people in this office can access the printer. This printer had never given me problem until I upgraded the workstation. What is happening now is that the printer works fine in the morning, and around 1:00 Pm no one can connect to it or print to it until the following morning. Since we have several other attached and shared printers, I have tried to see what’s different now that could be contributing to this problem. The only thing that I have seen different is that when the printer was attached to the older Pentium 166 Mhz PC, I was running NT Workstation SP4. Now with the upgrade to a faster machine I have loaded SP6a. Can anyone give me some input as to what may be happening and how I might zero in on what the problem is?
