COMMENTS
- We have had that same problem at our agency & most of it turned out to be not servers, but PCs/laptops set up incorrectly (by our incompetent contractors who replaced our in-house IT staff). The pcs were set up to connect to the larger, centralized high speed printers as print servers. Once someone who knew what they were doing fixed this hundreds of the "servers" disappeared. ritgar Posted September 5, 2008 1:31 PM
