I'm running Metaframe XP and I'm having a lot of problems with printing. For some reason, print spooler seems to lockup and i can't add printers, therefore, people that login, it will not add their printer for them. It tells me the the print subsystem is unavilable due to lack of resources. I'm running a PIII 1.2 ghz with 1.2gig of ram. and Only 2 users and I'm having this problem. I highly doubt that i'm on a lack of resources. But once I restart, it will work for a little bit, then lock up again.

Any reason for this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Zhiyu
 
Check there's enough diskspace on the print server. If that looks OK, try doing a checkdisk in case the file system has some issues. If all of that seems OK, try deleting the printers and creating them again in case there's (say) a problem with the spool directories/permissions/demonic posession.... <grin>

Cheers
