printing error

[Guest Tester]

Hello there,

I am getting the error 6161 on my W2K server print server, once in a

while it does not print the jobs sent by the clients, or printing

blank pages, I need to restart spooler. I updated my printer drivers

recently. See error below

"The document failed to print on printer Data type: NT EMF 1.008. Size

of the spool file in bytes: 912716. Number of bytes printed: 0. Total

number of pages in the document: 1. Number of pages printed: 0.

Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 119."

I am using XeroxXpdPrint processor, data type raw. I use TCPIP

printing with protocol Raw selected, not LPR. Usually printer is a

Xerox machine but it also affects Dell printers as well. Thank you, T

1. Right-click each printer and do a Properties.

2. On the Advanced tab, see what the print-processor is set to be.

HP's (and other makers) like to hi-jack the default processor and plug

in their own junk (HPZPP*.exe, for example). If it's anything other

than WinPrint, set it WinPrint and apply the changes. Do this for

either your busiest printer(s) or all printers.

 

You can also try unchecking the "Enable Advanced Printing Features"

and see if it helps.

 

You may want to install some of these post-SP2 hotfixes (especially

1-3) as they may help out to further stabilize the print server:
