Update
We continue to monitor printing. The issue does seem to be resolved but we have had a few people reporting that they still cannot print.

If you are experiencing this issue can you:
1.) Cycle power on the printer to restart it.
2.) Reboot your computer.

If those actions do not resolve the issues, please email CCS IT Help Centre with subject line "Printing Issues after restart".

We will continue monitoring until end of the day. If there is no recurrence of the issue we will declare it to be resolved.

Monitoring
Root cause of the issues that affected printers for Managed Desktops clients has been identified and corrected. We are monitoring to verify that service has returned to normal.

Corrective action required us to remove two Dell printers from the service. Clients of these printers will be contacted and we will implement a work around to provide an alternate method to print.

If you continue to experience printing issues this morning, please email CCS IT Help Centre with subject line "Printing Issues".

Thanks to all clients who were impacted for your patience while we investigated this outage.
