First print job of day doesn't work for just one user, STRANGE


Recommended Posts

Posted

this is the weirdest problem i've ever seen. We have a user who's first

print job from her RDC session always hangs every day. Then when she logs

off the server and back on to clear her virtual print queue mapped to the

network printer installed on her local computer, she can then print. I've

tried deleting her profile from the server, reinstalling the printer on her

local computer, no such luck. Any ideas of what could I could possibly try

next???? She use mstsc to connect to the 2000 SP4 server. Even cancelling

the job in her virtual print queue doesn't work, it just sits at Deleting

forever until she logs off.

Is there some sort of logging I can turn on to see what is going on or

something??? The weird thing is that other people use the same printer when

RDC'd to the same server and it works fine.

Terminal services printing is surprisingly complex, hence the third party

printing methods like Uniprint.

Can you turn on printer logging? What errors do you have when this happens?

First of all I would make sure that you are using exactly the same printer

drivers everywhere (print server, terminal server, clients) and that it is a

TS approved printer driver.

Hope that helps,

How do you turn on printer logging? everything should be the same between

users, as they all add this printer from my print server.

Go to the print server; printers; File menu; Server Properties; Advanced.

And I do this on my actual printer server they add the printer from, or the

server she is RDC'ing to where the error actually happens?
