Hello,

I have an Mac server that seemingly randomly quits advertising printers
and receiving jobs from clients.  The server is running 10.3.9.  It
doesn't just drop one printer it drops them all.  CUPS still prints
fine and I can print from the server but no clients can send jobs or
see the printers on the print server via appletalk.  the printers
themselves are visible on the network, though, just not through the
print server.

Any ideas why the printers might be dropping?

thanks,

Alex

Since no one responded to me I will respond to myself even though it
makes me lonely thinking about it ;)

I found out the problem - Microsoft Excel X 10.1 sp 4? likes to bring
it down when you are printing a selected area.  not sure if it is some
escape character or what that excel is sending.
