Bizhub c203 dropping offline

I've been having printer woes for the last week of my IT sojourns. One of my clients uses 4 Bizhub c203s that I had previously shared using and old win2k3 server. The server died Monday and I had to transfer DNS, DHCP, and print services. I decided to direct connect the printers but had problems with the printers dropping off the network and randomly disappearing jobs. As soon as I turned off the snmp under the configure port setting on the the printer properties screen, the printers reconnected. Apprarently the Bizhub has a problem with leaving this turned on.
Best regards,

  1. Jonathon, thank you! I just fixed the same issue of a bizhub C280 going offline on a new Win7 x64 box by disabling SNMP on the port.
