I have a print server that has all the network printers in the office (5). We recently got disconnected as a whole, but now are back online. The printers now show offline to the workstations, but If I readd them, it works. Problem is I get an access denied if I try to delete the older printer. And I can't seem to get the older printers to get online. I've rebooted the workstations, and the servers. Also, I've restarted print spooler services. All workstations have windows 7.

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
