Never did. Sorry.

Actually it is a USB printer. And turning off the printer would not flush the spooler. Even powering down the system left jobs in there that would not delete. I did get it working though. I never could get the spooler to quit clogging up so I just bypassed the spooler altogether and it works...

Ya I know, but I kind of figure thats something I should know. But I don't so I feel stupid. Printer issues have never been my strong point though. Thanks for all the help Dave. I will let you know how I make out on it.

OK, last stupid question. Where IS the spooler directory?

Thanks Dave. Thats what I was looking for. I have already tried reinstalling the printer drivers and there are no other USB devices on that machine. I tried doind full power down but the jobs that would not delete were still in the queue on reboot. I will try stopping the service and clearing...

Thanks Dave. This computer is actually a users home computer that is not connected to the network at all. Its a USB printer and it all worked fine for several days then started doing this. How do I turn off the spooler and clear out the que? I have powered down the machine & printer totally...

there are no extra memory modules on this one. It wont even print small documents from word, but will print email messages just fine. Any idea ho to clear out that print que?

I have a win2k pro machine that is giving me printer fits. It will print from outlook but wont print from word, photoshop, or paint. Also, I keep finding all the stuff that wont print gets stacked up in the print que. I try to "cancel all jobs" and a couple say "deleting&quot...

Anybody?

This may be kind of a work around, but I always install a little free piece of software called freesurfer MKII (just do a google search), it kills pop ups and has an option to lock the home page in IE. Hope that helps.

I had the same type of issue once when a a domain controller went tits up and I had to rebuild it. Problem is that I had no chance to run DC promo before it died so it was stuck out there in active directory. I believe you can use ntdsutil.exe to go in and clean it up. Thats what I did and I...

Is there any good way to sync a set of folders that are located on servers in 2 different locations connected by a fairly slow VPN connection? Basically my network consists of a single domain with an office in StLouis and one in Kansas city. They are connected by a Raptor VPN but the main...

Have you considered a Linux solution? I use Red Hat and ProFTPD. Its very easy to configure, stable, secure and totally free. It will do exactly waht you are wanting to do. Each user gets a home directory and then you can have a directory to allow annonymous access for your driver downloads

Win2k boxes? Just go to each machine and got to settings-control panel-automatic updates. It gives you the option of the machine running windows update automatically and you can have it be totally automatic or you can make it ask for confirmation before installing updates.

So is the web server running on the win2k server or the 192.168.0.21 box? Also, are you trying to hit that outside IP from a box on the phisical network or from a machine somewhere else? If you are trying to hit that outside IP from on the network, it wont work.

I have yet to find a decent windows based firewall solution. What I would suggest is to grab any old machine out of your junk pile and a couple of NICs. and toss it between your server and your modem. Then go download smoothwall (for free) from smoothwall.org and install it on that machine...

I went ahead and set it up on the P75 with 72meg and used NT4.0 workstation. I patched it all up and its been chuggin right along for about a week now. My goal is to get the p133 with 64 meg set up with Linux but I cant seem to get it working with anything above Red Hat 6.2. Ive tried 7.2...

No I'm not content with my server being maxed out or anything windows based for that matter, but ultimately I plan to have a working Linux box to work with. This is pretty much temporary, basically an experiment at this stage. I think I have decided to give it a try on NT workstation. Any of...

You could do it that way. I just have allways done it like this. Its just less work to do the script than to map the drive on each machine. Its not like a roaming profile, but what I do is have a common drive and then each user has a folder on that drive that they save their documents to, you...

I use a scripts to map different shares for different users home folders but mine is much simpler, something like this... net use k: \\server1\bobs_home_folder net use x: \\server2\public_files This just maps a drive that shows up in my computer or whatever that users can then access of save...
