Win@K printers prob.: status says "opening", not "ready"

[JohnCHolmes]

I cannot print even a test page to the 2 afflicted network printers that show status of "opening" (instead of of "ready&quot. What do I need to do? (Already tried simply restarting)

This happened suddenly after prior normal usage of both, when I tried to print from Excel. (Excel has been crashing due to believed-to-be corrupt files lately, and the file I was printing is unstable and likely corrupt).

Only my machine is affected.
Netware 3.75, Windows 2000 workstation.

Thanks a bunch in advance.

I know in my NT network a lot of times the user account is locked out when that happens.

Thanks for the NT idea. I'll pass it on, and see if it turns out to be an analogous problem in Novell, like a damaged bindery.
