Can anybody tell me why I could have two identical computers sitting next to each other connected to the same switch, running windows 7, where 1 can connect to a network printer without a problem, but the other gives me this error when I try to connect to the same network printer?
TIA,
Josh
If the printer is not too far away try disconnecting the switch and running a known good Ethernet
cable directly from the offending computer to the printer. Did this hook up ever work? Possibilities
include: a bad cable, a bad port on the switch, a corrupted driver in the computer, a bad RJ-45
port on the computer. Maybe try deleting the printer driver and re-installing it? Compare all the
settings for that printer in both computers.
