shared printer problems with whs
I just installed 3 printers on to my WHS and was able to print to them from the server. Then I went over to my windows 7 64bit ult computer and installed all three printers on to it. I ran some print test pages from the 7 box and everything went fine. I tried to print form Photo Shop CS3 and Photo shop told me I must install a printer first. So I restated my computer and started photo shop up and they were in the drop down menu, but when I went to devices and printers all three printers where grayed out and said they where offline. So I went over to the WHS and issued a print test page. The test page worked. Then I restated the WHS thinking that it need to be restarted. After the restart I tried another print test page from the server everything worked. I went over the 7 box and still the same problem they where grayed out. Please what could be going wrong. Is there some sort of security that I overlooked and why did they print fine before the restart
