Sorry, I don’t quite understand.
You say, ‘communicate with the process’, ¿communicate with what process?
Accessing and locking what exactly?
How do I troubleshoot this? Do I need to sniff packets on the network to fond out who’s not answering who?
By the way, we’re using a snappin on one machine and I’ve just discovered that that also is failing intermittently. (It had been working fine for more than a year).
Cheers,
Chris.
Hi Tom,
That “FOG::printerManager Printer Installation Failed: Tutore” message is actually from the log of a succesful install. Both printers installed ok.
When the printers don’t install, reading the log, the last thing I see about printers is this message
“FOG::printerManager interprocess comm startup: OK”
Then nothing else.
If I try
I can see when the client is downloading the driver. When the installation fails, I see that the client doesn’t connect to the samba server at all.
So, given that “FOG::printerManager interprocess comm startup: OK” is the last message on a failed install, what would you try?
Thanks,
Chris.
Thanks for getting back Tim,
Ok, I sat down at one client and booted it 4 time. 3 times printer installation fails, and 1 success.
I’m at a loss.
Chris.

Hi,
We’ve got lots of win7 32bit clients booting with FOG. Thankyou so much for the project.
We have about 50 PC’s (all the same model) in five different branches (5 fog servers). All of a sudden, in all of the networks, the printers stopped installing themselves. (very occasionally one random client will install the printers correctly).
We haven’t touched the fog server setup and it had been working fine for over a year, so I’m thinking this might be because of a windows update?
Any ideas?
And please, how do I debug this?
Thanks.
Chris.
