We had this problem start suddenly 3 - 4 months ago and still can't track it down.  We have Sharp MFD's:  models, MX-3100N, MX-M453N, MX-4111N, which all intermittently, not often, give the user a "Network Error CE-00" error when scanning a document to a network share location.  They can wait a variable amount of time, try again, and it works perfectly.  This is using SMB.  
   We've tried updating the firmware and using the IP address, rather than the DNS name in the scanning configuration, with no success yet.  
   We understand that it is a network connectivity issue in some fashion but still can't track it down.  This is on multiple devices, so doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.  There weren't any other changes during that time period when it started happening.  Thanks for any thoughts on this!

We have two different telecoms setup here. Anyhow, I want to move the Xerox machine with a dedicated line to another room. the dedicated fax line is using a RJ11 and ther eis also a RJ45 data port being used. The other room is setup for RJ45.

My issue is moving the dedicated Fax line. The line comes to the printer with no moving room. I'll either leave the box in place and use a longer Ethernet cable and wire it for RJ11 and move it to the other room. I haven't climbed into the ceiling yet to see if there is extra wire but I have to move it over 50 feet. I was thinking to leave the box in place and put a cable into the box and then feed it back up to the ceiling and run it across to the other room I need to put the Xerox in.

Does anyone have an easier way of doing this or any other ideas? I hope this makes sense...

Any questions please let me know.  I can also attach pictures...

My issue is two fold, why can I PING an IP of a device that isn't on the network and I can't print.

I have a Datamax label printer that I just created a device description for and assigned it a new IP address, this printer is plugged into a switch, the switch is plugged into a firewall that goes through to another firewall before it gets to the IBM i.  We have two partitions, PROD and TEST.  I copied the device description and out queue from TEST to PROD to ensure they were identical on both sides.  

This printer works perfectly in TEST.  When plugged into the network I am able to print to it, I can PING its IP, TELNET to it and the trace route returns the three expected entries.  When I vary off the device and unplug it from the network I cannot PING it from the IBM i nor the network, I cannot TELNET to it and the trace route only returns the two expected entries.  All as it should be.  

However, in PROD I am unable to print to the device.  When I release a spool file it goes right to RDY status and the writer gets error CPD337F .  I have verified that the port and IP are correct, I have verified that the remote device is not busy, I have verified that the printer is on line.  I can PING its IP from both the IBM i and the network but I cannot TELNET to it and the trace route returns only two of the three expected entries.  When I vary off the device and unplug it from the network I can still PING it from the IBM i but not from the network, I …

I created a report that we have to print on a dot matrix printer. Right now the font of the report is Arial font but the printer seems to print really slow. Is there a more efficient font I should use with a dot matrix printer?

My OS is win 10 pro 64 bit and I had this Dymo printer for a long time, only using it iintermittently.   First it was the paper jam, which I managed to clear it, and now the print head does not print.  It just feeds paper out off the printer.  How does one fix this problem.  Thank u.

I have a customer that just upgraded to Windows 10 - he has a Kyocera FS 4200 DN Printer - he can get one system to work with the printer but not the other two.  I have downloaded/installed just about every Windows 10 driver from Kyocera for that printer - PCL5/6 and another one with no luck.  It seems to install fine but when you go to use it, it gives an error.  I have also tried to manually add it using the IP address but that didn't work either - any thoughts?

I have a windows 2008 R2 print server which has about 100 printers on it. Its functioning properly however it throws a lot of this one event log error throughout the day. See screenshots of popup and event log error.

I happens a number of times throughout the day. I would guess its a bad print driver but cant figure out which one it is.
Do you know any way i can find out or maybe a tool that will help me analyze these errors?

I use an ancient program that still works just fine (in Windows 7, at least) to generate invoices. Been using it happily for years.

It is SPC Invoice, is a  very small program, and is located at:

http://www.stevecopper.me.uk/freeware.html

I just added it to a new computer as part of a collection of utilities. I want to "print" it as a PDF...that is, see PDF among the printer choices, which I am not seeing right now, and can't remember if it's possible to include PDF as a printer choice.

I added two printers to the options and they work as they are supposed to.

I have a feeling this is either very simple or very complex.

Experts, have at it!

Hi Experts,

I'm currently making use of "winspool.drv" to implement my printing successfully without any issues.

However, it was recently discovered that the program hangs at either WritePrinter or StartPagePrinter (function does not respond or is blocked, program was unable to proceed for 10 minutes++ until the user terminated it, logs showed no Exceptions being thrown, it was just stuck)

Does anyone know what the cause might be and/or suggest what I can do to address this issue? I thought of implementing a Task to run this function, but it would make the print flow more complex.

This issue of being stuck is not a common occurrence either; there has only been one and only one reported case after hundreds and thousands of prints, but I thought best to solve, or at least understand the problem before it becomes a common issue.

Note: PrinterSpoolerNativeMethods are just references to the functions defined in "winspool.drv".
Write Printer
Start Page Printer

Additional Note: Start Doc has already been called by the time the flow control reaches here, and a job ID has already been returned from the Start Doc, so the printer handle is valid, and the printer should be responding.

I am running a Windows Server 2012 R2 print server. Just recently (two days ago) my workstations, RDS Session hosts, etc have stopped successfully connecting to my print server by its name "printserv". I can connect successfully by IP address and by its FQDN, but not its NetBios name. If I reboot the print server my workstations, RDS Session Hosts, etc are able to connect to my print server via its NetBios name for a couple of hours and then all of a sudden they all begin to report that they can't connect to the server and of course my users are unable to connect to their respective printers.

What could cause the NetBios name to drop out like it is?
