appletalk printers unavailable in chooser
Hi,
I am having an issue with OS 9.2.2. Of the 3 people using Macs 2 of them are unable to print to the same printer at the same time. The were fine before we moved them onto a switch. The one only difference between the first two and the one that is unaffected is the version of open transport: 2.7.9 vs. 2.8.3.
When one Mac prints the other can't see that printer in the chooser window.
Any ideas appreciated, solutions awarded with points!

I've had this happen numerous times where I work, especially when changes are made to the network. Sometimes Macs don't notice the changes right away and because printers aren't where they were last time, the Mac doesn't see them. Turning AppleTalk off, then on again forces the Mac to gather and rebuild the network information.
