Printer Issue

If you rolled them with a static address instead of DHCP with a reservation, there is a possibility of a duplicate IP address on the network. That will cause symptoms like you are having.

Thank you I will take a look at that!

Just verified that it is DHCP, good guess though.

Is printer set up as a shared printer off a print server, or is it being pushed out as a local printer with a TCP/IP print queue?
-
Can you do a print test page?
Is the printer set as the default printer? -
Instinctively, I just want to downvote this post, because I hate printers so much.

Power cycle the printer itself, even though some user can print to it I have seen a power cycle fix weird print server issues

Instead of
\\server-dns\printshare, try\\server-ip\printshare -

Ok I finally got a test print to work, from the Print Server it's self.
But still can't print from the desktops.
All the printers that are down are the same model.

Check event viewer. I would probably go in to the printer manager and delete the drivers for that printer and reinstall them.

Is this printer connected to a Fiery Print server?

No, just a normal 2012 R2 print server. Very vanilla.

I assume someone has dug through the event logs on this old 2012 r2 server, yes?
