Guest ed Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 I am upgrading a SBS 2003 server to SP 2 and all of the latest updates. After all of the updates, all of my network printers do not work. I receive the message after trying to print a test page: "Test Page Failed To Print". If I try printing from note pad I get a "Handle is invalid" error message. I tried installing the lastest drivers with no luck. Can anyone help trouble shoot this?

Guest ed Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 Re: Print no longer works This dll file was not found. Another interesting fact is that if I install a network printer using a local port on some of my xp workstations, the printer works fine. But I have two xp workstations and the server that has this problem. As I search the Internet, I see others have had this problem, but no solutions have been found.

Guest ed Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 Re: Print no longer works One other item of interest is that I connected to the server via remote desktop and tried to use a local printer. I get the same error message when I use the local printer that is connected to the server using remote desktop.
