We have multiple printers {most of them HP} on LPR on a NT4 server and it happens quiet often that the users cannot print and the status of the printer becomes “Printer Busy or Error” the only thing that I can do is restart spooling, has anyone got any ideas or can help me with this one?

Your help is very much appreciated.

Thanks
Joel
 
You can get this error and many other strange problems when using Microsoft`s TCP/IP port.
If you are using that port, try installing a HP TCP/IP port instead. You can do that by installing HP TCP/IP portmonitor that is located on HP`s ftp.


Kind regards Pysj`n
