The symptoms described by Thomas Hansen at the top of this thread are
identical to what I witness.

Unfortunately SNMP is not enabled for any of my 1022n printers (per
NeilH below). I wish that were the case; below would be a solution to
a chronic nagging problem!

A google groups search for 1022n and Windows Server 2003 brings up
this thread only.

I'll do variants of the search however anything else comes to mind?

Thank you,

Yes, previous messages in this newsgroup.

Sorry but I don't fully remember the details, but a few weeks ago someone
sent out a message which detailed what was the problem and how to sort it
out.

Below is the text from a message. I can't confirm the details are correct
but it is worth trying. Also I can't tell you who sent it as the person
decided not to provide any name

=Go to TCP/IP port settings on the print server, uncheck the SNMP Status
Enabled box. The printers are not replying to the SNMP =packets to sent from
the print server and thus the print server believes their status is offline.
Unchecking the box will disable this test =and printers will show online.
Simple fix to a real headscratcher.

I experienced this exact problem. Only Admins could print--user jobs
would only go through after restarting the print spooler service on
the server. I first thought it was due to the drop to the printer
being quite long and through a small switch, but upon moving it to a
drop near the server room, I determined that this was not the case. I
disabled SLP and mDNS through the web config and then rebooted the
printer. Since then, all users have been able to print without any
problems. Hope this is helpful.
