HOW CAN YOU AVOID..... PRINTER OFFLINE.

[venado]

When printing a text file (31kb) to a network printer i get this message: "Printer queue is full, the printer is going to be offline. Click OK to save job in local printer spooler" or something like that. The the printer go offline.

How can i prevent that? so the user doesn't have to intervene. By the way, i'm printing from vfp to a Fujitsu printer 24 pin i believe.

Any idea?
Thanks

1. Probably the network spool is getting full and sufficient space not available in the server

2. The network is not allowing the user for want of rights.

I assume you are using NET USE LPT1: \\servername\printshare

we have a NT server and the printer is connected to print server. I think the print server has no sufficient memory or NT is not allowing me to spool.

Thanks.

I do not know, if you are using VFP or FoxPro 2.6 since the spooling problems exist in earlier versions. Just follow my thread182-66171 in case it is an earlier version.
