Has anyone seen the message "Waiting for printer port" in the print queue under "Status". We've been seeing this message appear in a couple print queues on a few servers. At first we attributed the problem to a memory error on one server but now it's showing up on a few others. All servers are running Windows NT 4.0 and the printers range from HP LJ4 to Lexmark printers. Usually we remove the printer port and re-create it to fix this but it's not working anymore. Thanks!
 
In addition...someone can print through a node and the print job will work.
