After hijacking another thread !!! or so that user claims ... ill start my own thread off to see if anyone can help. Thanks in advance
Hi....stumbled across this forum hoping someone can help
10 Windows 7 PC / Laptops
1 2003 Storage Server running the print spooler
10 HP4100 printers
The problem ... the print spooler on windows 7 keeps hanging whilst trying to talk to these printers. Maybe all day, maybe after a week...no pattern but its a big issue we have here and our new desktop windows 7 roll out has been halted because of this really annoying bug.
You have to re start the spooler locally to get the thing to print again
Numerous drivers have been tried the HP universal ones which are dire !, The hp 4100 PS , the HP4100 PCL 6 they all do it they all stop the print spooler in its tracks.
Anyone any ideas ? mapping directly to the printers is a no no due to whats the point of having a print server if you map directly to it and having over a 100 windows 7 clients all mapping directly to the printer will just kill it.
I hope somone can help before I really fall out with windows 7
Cheers
