| | Cannont delete printers - no jobs pending! I was trying to set up a print server to my HP 4000. I created several printers with various different IP address (the print server is going thru my router). When all that failed, I called tech support for the print server. We ended up changing the IP address to match the router -- this was the problem and now I can print. However, when I try to delete those other printers...it won't let me. Just gives me an error to make sure its connected to the network. If I double click on the printer that says "deleting.....offline" I get an error message 0x00000709. I've made sure there are no print jobs spooling. What else can I do?? Furthermore...when I go to regedit and look under print/printers....only the correct ones are there. I'm at a loss... -- mc0624 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mc0624's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/101398.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-print-fax/1187133.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
