Hi
I'm on mobile so I can miss something.
Can you show me the printer-service template definition?
Ciao,
Giorgio

Anyway I am trying to monitor services and for all the switches it seems fine, but for all of the printers it's not working. Automatically so I am wondering if i've done something wrong but I cannot work out what is wrong it all appears to be fine, please see below. But when I try monitoring services it will start and for the odd printer work fine but the next printer in the list it will not work for and what happens is it check the service once and it's fine but then when it comes to do the second check on either the check_ping or check_printer service it either disables checking the service or moves the date forward a week for the next check.
