Yes our Win/MF environment is identical.
We use AD, but I wouldn't think that would be any different.
And you can ping the DNS print name from the MF servers and when you do
an ipconfig the dns suffix are there? So you are thinking something in
MF can't resolve the name.
We have a mixed environment here. The office people have Windows 2000/XP
desktops and we use Citrix on the shop floor. Anyway my point is I got
the fatties working with the DNS print before I tackled the thin ones.
I haven't had a melt down yet where I actually have to reassign the
backup print server in DNS to test the failover.Joanne

Glad to read that it is generally possible. However, I tried it
different
ways (fully qualified, putting various domains into the suffix list
etc.)
without success. I always get the error mentioned in my last message. I
also tried to import other machines with shared printers with the same
result: Netbios names/IP addresses work, DNS names don't.
Our DNS server is a Unix box, but this should be no difference as it
does
just the name/ip resolution (am I wrong here)? We don't use Active
Directory either.
Is your environment similar to ours (Windows 2000 SP3, MFXP 1.0
SP3/FR3)?
