Windows 10: Network crashes when connecting to print server published in ActiveDirectory

Dear allTL-DR: every computer Server, W7, W10, virutual or physical machine looses network connectivity when connecting to a specific Server2019 printer server. We are experienced sysadmins and know our way around windows, server, AD and networking but this problem seems to be above our level.The problem is similar to the Kyocera printer nightmare which we successfully dealt with in 2021We have HV1: Server2019 with HypervisorVM1@HV1: Server2019 as Domain Controller VM2@HV1:.... HV2: Server2019 with HypervisorVM1@HV2:...VM2@HV2:....SRV01: Server2019 as print serverW7 Professional latest pa

Unable to print to a network printer when connected to both wireless and wired networks

Hi Eileen,

• As far as i'm aware nothing has changed
• i have only tried to send test pages to the network printer so im assuming so yes
• wireless printer works fine when connected to both networks. However the wifi doesn't connect auto when an Ethernet connection is established this has to be manually connected.

I have tried the following:

• updated the print driver
• changed the network port it was plugged into
• ran windows updates
• configured with a static
• changed the wifi and Ethernet priority

I will run through the trouble shoot steps as suggest and come back to you.

FYI - he has a number of extenders dotted around, a collegue mentioned it could be a subnet issue?

thanks, Ben

How to Configure a Print Server: 5 Steps (with Pictures) - wikiHow
I haven't set up a computer as a Print and File Server since the late '90s [in a shop I worked in], trying to recall if it was a Win95, Win98 or Win98SE machine but it was on a WinNT 4 Network. The printer was an HP Laserjet 4, used the Parallel Port.
