Add Local Printer Issue

[dberg35]

I am trying to add a printer to my Terminal Server via a local port, which is nothing new to my server. This printer use to work on the server but stopped so I deleted it and not I can not ad it again. The error message I keep getting is this
"not enough server storage is available to process this command"
Any insight would be great!!

Try stopping and restarting the Print Spooler service (if you can without causing too much disruption). Then attempt a reinstall.

If that does not work, try stopping the print spooler, delete the print driver files in the spool folder (ensuring you only delete those files associated with that driver). Restart spooler and re-add printer.

Already did that and restarted the server

Hows your disk space?

Server has over 2 gigs and I was able to add another printer today but not this one.

check on HP's website to see if there is a driver uninstall utility. use this to remove the printer from the system and then re-install it.

just out of interest, have you tried installing it on another system? what account are you using the log onto the server with to install the printer?>

This happens on both servers 2003 & 2000 and I have uninstalled the drivers. I the only thing I havn't done yet was remove that pc from the domain and re-join it.
