Ok, I cannot figure this one out. I have two usb label printers at two different computers. They are shared on a workgroup. Despite being setup this way for years, about three weeks ago they started acting up. On our terminal server (Win08), they go offline two to three times a day. Restart the print spooler will bring them back online, and occasionally, restarting the connected computer will bring them back as well. All the other printers are networked and continue to work fine, only these shared usb printers go offline.
I been searching all over the internet trying various solutions to no end. I've tried uninstall/reinstall the printers, turning off snmp, resetting the spooler and even swapped out the locally connected workstations. still no solution. Nothing stands out in the error logs and my hair is turning gray. Any suggestions...
