I am trying to change the IP on my printer device, but it keeps
telling me it is in use and it cannot be changed. If I try to print,
it gives me the same message.
I have tried rebooting the server, printer device, clients, but no
luck. I also re-installed the printer but still tells me the same
message.
If I connect to a client, it does print however, with no problem. How
can I correct this?
I have a 2k3 network.
Would appreciate any help.

Have you tried stopping the print spooler?
