Shared Network Printer Not Working for Oracle Financial
Laser printers, thermal printers, inkjet printers and color printers are becoming inexpensive. Sometimes the cost of the ink is about two thirds of the printer. But most offices which issues invoice or receipt relies still on dot matrix printer. It is very common for every point of sale in the market to have invoice printer or receipt printer which is dot matrix printer. In a typical office the computer printers are shared to maximize space and usage. This is done by setting up a shared printer hosted on one of powerful computer machine which runs on Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000 server.
There are times when the shared network printer do not work. For example, our finance department cashier section that runs Oracle Financial software even uses the LQ 2170i epson receipt printer which is shared to four users. They usually call for technical support when shared network printer does not work. Two common reason I encounter are the changed printer share name and firewall setting in the host computer. Whenever you are tasked to trouble shoot shared network printer problem try to check the easy ones above.
