How do I start printer spooler

Hello,
it would seem your 3 required printer objects are not talking to each other properly. It sounds like you have the first 2 peices in order if you can see the jobs in the queue, now all you need to do is load the print server on the server and your jobs should print. Gte to the server console and type : LOAD PSERVER and press return. You should get a screen asking for the name and location of the print server object. Navigate your treen to find it, select it and hey presto you should be in business.

I guess it depends on how often you reboot your server and whether you want to load it manually each time
You should also understand that simply loading the NDPS manager (NDPSM.NLM) doesn't automatically make your print queues work. The printer agents have to be configured to service the queues in the first place. That's something that you would have had to set up at some point in time.

Hello, I presumed from your description you were using the old print queue system. If you are using NDPS then you will need to load the manager and broker services to get the printers working. You can do this from the console :
LOAD BROKER and nav the tree to find your broker.
LOAD NDPSM and nav the tree to find your manager.
in that order then you should get at least 2 new console screens with the NDPS printers (manager) and the broker which just gives load status etc. You may also get a Gatewasy services screen. If you want to add the instructions to your autoexec,ncf the syntax goes like :
LOAD BROKER "NDPS BROKER - SERVER.ORG.TREE"
LOAD NDPSM "NDPS MANAGER - SERVER.ORG.TREE"
Hope this helps more than the last one I wrote.
