Printjob hang up

    Printjob hang up

    i got a new windows 2008 fileserver and a windows 2008 terminalserver
    running about two weeks.
    now i realize that the print jobs often hang up and they stay in the print
    queue. i went down the fileserver and restarted the spooler service.
    sometimes i also have to restart the spooler on the terminalserver or the
    local clients as well. then everything works fine again.
    this happens about 10 time a day. i have toggled the option 'print directly
    to the printer' and disabled the bidirectional printing as well but all that
    was no solution.
    any idea?

    thanks Van

    Hello Van,

    Any errors in the event viewer? Did you make sure to use the correct drivers
    for your printer? Which type/model do you use? Co you use only domain internal
    ip addresses/ DNS servers on the printers and also domain machines?

    Best regards

    thanks for your quick response, meinolf,

    we use hp lj 5000 with windows build in driver ps, kyocera fs-2000 kpdl
    driver, sharp mx-m450n ps vendor driver.
    all printers act the same with hangups. i only use win 2008 drivers from
    2009.
    we use them domain internal and have only standard ip ports. the fileserver
    is dns server and domain controller.
    i have all printer events enabled for the eventlog but there´s no error.
    just 5 minutes ago i have trouble again with the hp 5000 printer.
    there´s no error, just an event 10 telling me that the printout was fine but
    the job is still in the queue but i can print other documents well.


    thanks Van
