NDPS and print queues

[ivbnw8tn4u]

The problem we have been having is that when we associated a print queue with an ndps printer it works fine for a few days, but then it seems to unbind it self. It is listed as idle withn the ndps manager. When I stop and restart the printer is goes to binding then to idle and it work fine for a few days then it quits again. Any ideas????

Is this happening to all NDPS printers? If just one, check the cables and/or jetdirect card. I've seen this many times (but only on one printer at a time) and it's always been the cable or card.

it happens periodically with most of the printers, there is about 50 - 75 printers within the manager. And they all do it randomly

This usually happens when there is a communication problem. You might want to check your network stats in MONITOR to ensure there is no errors on the network card. If there is, it could be faulty. Apart from that, you could only require an SP upgrade or an upgrade to the latest NIC LAN driver.
