I have 120 Student PC's running W2k, networked using Novell own client to a 5.1 server. Remote printing was migrated with contents of previous 3.12 server. Randomly when students print, application hangs. Purchased HP2200dn lasers recently, in hope of resolving problem. No luck. Have used NDPS. Have used Microsoft solution. Currently printing to NDS tree. All suggestions are very welcome.
