Print Server

[jdietz]

First; I know nothing about network admin. I have been thrown into this and I am having to learn it on the fly.

I have two print servers. One on and old NT4.0 box and one on a Win2K box. I want to take to old print server off and use the box for something else.

What do I have to do to get rid of the old print server. Some people here still try to connect through it and have all kinds of problems. How do I tell the network it is no longer there.

Thank You in advance.

Jim

If you remove the printer from the server that has the printer installed and remove from the logon script, it should take care of it.
Ours are installed on a windows 2000 server. We map the printer's with a logon script written in vbscript.
Uninstall (as you would any other printer) from the server where it is located then update the logon script (where you map network printers).
We erase any existing mappings then remap all drives and printers for each user on login. You could remove it from the logon script and not uninstall also... do not know if this helps, good luck.
