Hi

I have a laserjet 2500 colour network printer. When I install the printer on the server, I get a error when trying to print. When I turn the printer of and on again, the job that gave the error, will print. I might be lucky to get one or two more jobs through before it starts giving me an error again. Then, again, If I turn it of and on again, the error jobs will print.

Am I doing something wrong?

1st! O\S ????
2nd! Driver?
3rd! Workstation access to driver?
 
Sounds like the PCL6 driver weirdness. Try the PCL5x driver and see if that helps.

Stop and restart print spooler..

start->control panel->administrative tools->services

Also check that spooler folder is empty

C:/windows/system32/spool/printers
 
Thanks,

I will try that
