I have set up a second print server in our company and something strange is going on. lets call the server
prntsrv
anyway, when users try to add it, and they click "find now" in the add printer wizard, it won't show up, however, if they type the full path \\prntsrv\printer, it works! If I restart the print spooler and wait 5 mins, the printers who up in the directory.. but, wait a day or two, and they dissapear. either way, you can still print to the printers no problem...
I have made sure when configuring the printer, that it is listed in the directory. Restarting the print spooker seems to solve the issue, but, it keeps re-occuring. funny thing is, adding the printer via unc seems to work fine
