:LOL:

Tell me about it, this is starting to sound all too familiar:

Business Manager
Continuity Planning
Project Management
Risk Management

Oh yeah, and could you do IT as well? :D

The printer has an internal HTTP server - just stick the IP address in IE and hey presto.

There's no way I can think of that changing domain membership would affect the printer or the ability of the PCs to see the printer. How are you trying to setup the printer?

Add new printer
Local - untick the box
Define new TCP/IP port
Put the printer IP address in the box

Once the printer installs, do the following, otherwise you'll have problems:

Right-click the printer and choose Properties
Advanced tab
Print processor
Change to winprt
Ok
Ok

Very strange.

Everything is fine now and the printers are recognised by every machine other than the server which is neither here nor there.

The problem seemed to be caused by the old Laserjet that we used to have. It was shared from another machine and it's software was seemingly causing conflicts.

I deleted every instance of it from every machine and all seems fine.

Phew.
