Hi fellow members

I have a few users in LAN each sending reports to a common network printer (ie not shared printer or each pc has their own direct port connection to the common network printer).

I presume that printer will queue all the work coming in from all pc. But some how some reports are not printed when the volume of printing becomes congested.

Questions
  1. Can the printer ignore what is sent to it print?
  2. Is there a better way to make sure that the print jobs are handled. I am thinking if all pc goes to a shared printer in one pc, this may not occur. Is
    this so?

well 1, the network queue should NOT be dropping jobs. Thats a network admin problem.
2, you can send it to a shared printer if it works for you.

but the printer in 1 should not loose prints.

Thanks Ranman for the assurance. Will get to the bottom of this if this a human error or is the network queue issue.

By the way, you mention network admin problem, can you think of a few possibilities.
