Print Problems

[Guest dippy_x@hotmail.com]

I have a client who has a number of HP Laserjet 4250 DTN printers.

Their using a 2003 R2 server as a print server and have this peculiar

problem where by everytime a user wants to adjust a setting on the

print driver (choose a different paper type or paper tray) the driver

is downloaded from the print server to the client machine generating

the following event log:

 

Event Type: Warning

Event Source: Print

Event Category: None

Event ID: 20

The event log itself is not the problem, but the delay in re-

downloading the driver causes a long pause in printing. If we set the

client machines up with the exact same driver installed as a local

printer and get them to print via a tcp/ip port there are no issues at

all. If the users try to print from the print server without

modifying any driver settings (a straight file -> print) there is no

pause either.

 

I have tried PS, PCL5 and PCL6 driver and still get the same

problems. I have also tried clearing down all of the print drivers

from the client machines and the print server and re-installing again

but still seem to get this same issue occuring.

 

I have contacted HP about this issue, and as far as they are

concerned, if the printer drivers works when installed locally there

is no driver issue.

 

Anyone ever come across something similar?

 

Thanks
