Hi,
We have two eMacs networked, sharing a single Epsom inkjet printer.
The printer is attached (USB) to our secondary machine, running
OS10.3.3, and is working perfectly well from that machine. Our main
machine (OS10.2.8) normally prints to the remote printer over the
network. Yesterday, the remote printer simply disappeared from the
printer list, and we are unable to see it using Print Centre. The
network is still working - we can mount disks - but we cannot
reconstruct our printer list.
Print Centre is set to see remote printers, and the print utility on
the machine that hosts the printer is set to share printers.
At this stage we are not sure where the problem lies - with the
machine that hosts the printer or with the machine that we want to
use it remotely. The only adverse thing that has happened with these
machines is that the host machine was accidently switched off at the
mains a bit before this all happened. It rebooted without trouble,
and we can't find anything wrong with it at all.
We have tried all the standard things - checked the network and
printing preferences; rebooted; used the printing utilities to try to
find the printer on the network. I also trashed the printing plist
file on the hosting machine and reset the preferences.
Any ideas about what else to try will be very appreciated.
Kaye and Geoff
