Remote printing fails until print spooler is restarted Hector Balanzar 12/17/2008 11:49:02 PM Hello: PC1 Windows XPSP3 with HP Laserjet 1020 (shared on LAN) PC2 Windows XPSP1 Laserjet printer is connected by USB to PC1, shared over LAN and configured in PC2. The problem is that every time I send a printout from PC1 the document sent is shown in the print pool but it is not printed until PC1 print spooler service is restarted. I can print as many pages as needed from PC1, but if I print even one single page from PC2, the print spooler service in PC1 fails every next printout until it's restarted. Any hints anyone? Greetings Hector

Uninstall and reinstall the printer... correctly. http://www.coribright.com/windows/Article_One.htm BTW is there a valid reason why PC2 does not have all the SPs installed? -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "Hector Balanzar" <HectorBalanzar[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:9CF10970-D486-4EF4-B495-DEF364B5B4D8[ at ]microsoft.com...
