Don ________________________________ Subject: Can't delete printer Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2009 08:55:20 -0600 From: d...@parkviewmc.com To: ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com I have a 2003 print server that someone added three printers with the following names. SPP1,15 SPP1,16 SPP1,17 When I go to delete them I get the following message. Printer cannot be removed. Either the printer name is typed incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server. I can't rename or even look at the ports that are associated. Any ideas?
