Can ping a network printer from Server, but can't print to it
I am having issues with Remote Printing from an RDP Server (192.168.200.6)
I can ping the printer (10.234.3.52) from the Server. I can connect to its web console from the Server. I can even connect to - and install - the printer from the Server. But nothing prints! It goes into the print queue for literally long enough to see that there is something in there, but it doesn’t come out of the printer!
I’ve installed the printer locally, direct to the IP Address and I’ve tried a couple of potential fixes, such as taking SNMP off the port, but I just can’t get the printer to actually print!
Bizarrely, printing here in the same office from the Server works fine - it's just printing to remote sites I'm having problems with! I’m stuck with where to go next?
