Intermittent Printer connection failure

Hi There

What causes the remote printers on unix to loose its connections to the Unix server Sco 6 Version 7

When pinging the print server from unix is comes up with host not connected, but after a few moments the ping reply is positive

Then we do a disable and enable of the said printer and thereafter it prints correctly.

Smilie
